How To Measure Distance

There could be worlds between us - for all the difference it makes
A distance measured in land, in sea, in people and in places
An infinite journey in each bus, each train and each plane
There is patience, in every second, every minute and every hour
And an unspoken desire to sew the cracked continents back together – inch by inch, metre by metre, second by second.
Make us whole.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
