Love Came Searching

Man is mortal, a mere worm,
A mist that appears quickly then vanish.
Like a flower that flourishes,
And very soon its beauty withers,
Then its place remembers it no more.
Like new grass that appear in the morning,
Then wither and dry in the evening.
Like the memory that’s lost no sooner,
Than your eyes move from the mirror.
So is the life of a mortal man,
Who lack the Eternal Hope.

Who has seen or understands Love?
Love came searching.
With a Royal crown on His head,
With an open heart and stretched hands.
He chose humility and mockery,
To mend the broken relationship.
His children were perishing in a valley.
Then a spear that pierced His side,
Opened a fountain stream that flowed freely,
And swept through the valley of death.
Then the valley flourished with unending life.

A choice we’ve been given,
To choose between life and death.
To choose between a curse and a blessing
Then there was the best gift ever,
Best presented on a tree.
From the most loving and caring Father.
A gift so special and precious yet free.
More precious than gold and rubies and silver
This gift was the only way to immortalize,
Your life from ebbing and wasting away.
If you choose Him, you choose life!

Love promised that... He will never leave us.
He will always fight our battles
He will strengthen us when we are weak
He will help us move mountains
He will give us wisdom unknown
We shall tread on snakes and not be bitten…
For we needed to remain on the right path
So Love gave us a faithful Teacher and Helper
Who would always gently whisper
Nothing but the whole Truth
And lead us through the path of life.

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.

Ah, Eunice, a tribute to He who loves us enough to give us everything, and thus, teaching us how to love others.

Yes, Caren. We can only learn from the best Teacher. If half of the World was like Him, I think Love would overcome the evil we see today.
