Precipice of Love

When we are in you that is true, running patiently walking in love Precept upon precept the crescendo. The infatuation before it's time But the true love watched me fall and offered His hand As the puppy love was crushed, by her words but not failing to build again Rebounding to new heights for a new friend; the sweet heart of then Tumbling head over heels, casually growing into something that was not love at all but feeling good out weighed the broken heart, so it seemed Saying I love you, to go my own way but that carried more burdens than I knew But the true love watched me fall and offered His hand Yet I dusted myself off, then climbing again. If not a person then maybe in something. I found it to be weightless, yet when I fell, it hurt worse than them all For falling deeper, brought me to the edge of another insanity Yet the search for love compelled me. Rushing back to the top of the slope There looking out, thinking I do not even know. What love is? Not in faces or things or even my dreams. Then I'll stop looking Walking blindly and numb, falling over and over all that was before But the true love watched me fall and offered His hand This time listening, I heard RUN but already ran. SO RUN AGAIN Looking from teary eyes, yet leaping over obstacles of before. To now see the many kinds of love. Some from the earth, some from above coming to the edge of the cliff The height, the depth, the breadth; there is no end to His true love when you enter in So I leaped into love's true hand, by His grace the Lord Jesus, I am flying this time then He set me on the rock of His forgiving love, that I did not deserve He fills me with His true love from above. To love Him and all others Running patiently walking in love but my true love watched me fall and offered His hand

Amen! May I humbly suggest punctuation and paragraphs? I think this is an excellent message you have written and I hate to see people not get the full impact of your words.

Thank you Richard for the Amen and advice. It did not turn out on here, as well as I would have liked because of space.
