Joan Donnelly Ellis Poet Pastoral

Eternal Family

Eternal Family 

 If I a mere human can love my enemies 
 Those actively engaged in atrocities
 Such as spreading lies, secretly plotting my demise
 If I can sacrifice my early morning
 Obey God's command and pray for my foes
 Who've neither loving heart nor shame of their iniquity
 How much deeper do you suppose
 God's love for you goes and desires to make you a member
 Of His Eternal Family?
