Loving

Loving is to through a pebble into the sea and the ripple become a wave to plant a seed and it become a tree to cook a meal and it become a feast to build a house and it become a home to shine a light and it become a beacon to speak a name and it impart trust to see what lies benieth what is seen on the surface to hear the secrets of the heart being told to touch and give comfort to a human being to feel empathy instead of sympathy in time of need to let love be measured by decades and deeds where words are the least of expressions of these but summerize the tears, fears and tongue of our God a relationship with both mate and Diety we laud with works and prayers love is more than words it is the path we trod love is a blanket covered to keep warm love is a needle sewing socks while a fire burns love is waking before the break of dawn love is baking and taking out before it burns love is a love note found during the day love is thought finding words to say love is sometimes saying "You can have it your way" and love is duality in saying "Lord give US this day" where hell and high water have no say a sacred trust in giving time away love is forgiving all that is abroad love is not giving that which belongs to God the only place to find this love it is the place we call heaven up high above

John iii, Your words intrigue and speak many truths. Complete and unconditional love does come from God above. But you have mentioned many examples of love that mankind bestows on one another... causing reflections and self evaluation. Could I have shown more love. Unfortunately, the answer is yes. I could have given more, but for some reason, although I felt the love in my heart, I did not serve tirelessly. Your words bare truths. And I keep trying to be better... With Love, Dane Ann
