"pearl Or Peril"

Oh such awesome excuses we make When at first our minds begin to quake We need to find a neighbor’s mistake Doesn’t it really just take the cake Excuses we make, are of our minds fake Flesh loves to see, brother of low degree For the carnal need a place to pea Shall we never consciously see That he is just as good as we Of God’s love___ created equally Love thy brother as thine own self Love him with all substance you have left God did not make us of any junk Made we all from the same hunk Shall we all flunk__ as junk’s, carnal self Be good as gold, to your own neighbor Unto your brother, lend Love’s saber Line your line upon, ‘Love’s precept’ Look not for a brother’s missed_ step Cast not your peril__ swine, ‘Ye of carnal mind’!!!! Love is never of any low degree Something upon which a swine should pea Why, these swine pea, upon you and me Though Love say, “just let the tares be”” The world has chosen it’s own peril, you see!!!! Love’s pearl, not of the world, be of great price Perfectly proved self, in sacrifice Left no room for a mind of vice Life owns death, by Love’s sacrifice The choice be clear, and the time is near!!!!! Let Moses’ love be totally clear My heart unto you, I have poured out From an open window___ heaven’s spout Believe or disbelieve, your’s to conceive City light awaits__ I’ve opened the gates!!!!!!!

Awesome message, John! I am really nervous today. I have to pick a relative up at Salt Lake airport and then drive into the city to take them to a bus station. I can't even focus on Soup much. So much going on! Have a nice day and thanks, as always, for your comments. LUv, Andrea

to express how your love will pour 'unto' anyone, meaning all will and should be accepted. we are love, and misusing it is only abusing it, hurting what our hearts do perfectly.a truly wonderful write. -Always&Forever Lynette

Your thoughts about pure love are "totally clear," John. You capture the spiritual essence of Agape so well in your poem, dear friend. It's good to know that there are some who can see through the carnal veil to find that which is everlasting. Love, Carolyn
