How Much Love

Do you feel
That you could steal
To feed your children
Would you be ok
If you had to say
My kidney to a stranger
To remove him from danger
Could you keep
Three jobs with no sleep
To keep a roof over your heads
Or give up your life
To protect your wife
Would you deliver that baby
If there is a chance maybe
You wouldn't survive the birth
Do you have the will
If you had to kill
To save an innocent
How much love would it take
To lay down your life for someone else's sake
Could you give up your only Son
To save everyone

Timothy, oh my gosh, what a poem, could I do those things, I am not sure but I know when my mother was dying I would have given my life to save her. And when my baby was born dead, I asked God why, why not let me die instead so I guess love can make us do some amazing things, well done and a FAV for me ~

Thank you and God bless you. I lost an infant brother. I understand.
