If I Ever Stoop

If I ever stoop
Only to pick a fallen flower
Not to pluck from its branch

If I ever stoop
Only to raise a man
Not to disgrace his fallen state

If I ever stoop
Only to nurse the pain
Not to cause the pain

If I ever stoop
Only to pray for all
Not to curse any.

Thanks for sharing this... exposing your thoughts through your unique poetic style. 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.
