Reserve In Thee

Love is not always reciprocated Seeming some hearts terminally constipated – unable to relieve themselves and others, to make lighter many burdens, the long suffering of less fortunate sisters and brothers – yes, love is not only tender petting, it is also to help stop daily fretting – feeling hopeless smothers love is sinking wells and tilling fields giving an extra helping hand when Nature poorly yields it is lighting a furnace of warmth for the aged, by themselves too weak to battle late hour’s bitter cold it is seeing gold as not mere glitter but a wealth that could make life desperate fuller and fitter Seek out those children abandoned and forgotten! Restore a World order that nurtures its vulnerable fold – Dear God, if love could only be bought and sold, I would earn to buy all give all away free... My own reserve entirely in Thee

This is such a heartfelt and deep write that truly reflects how compassion, love and empathy are the biggest virtues and fortunes we humans possess, yet we forget to appreciate their beauty. I love the title so much and so many lines here that pull at the heartstrings."seeing gold as not mere glitter but a wealth that could make life desperate fuller and fitter" So wonderfully crafted.For those who are revolving in darkness, God has made us sufficient enough to pour fairydust hope in their lives

If nothing else, the Children we should give our positive attention, for they are the next generation. Train them, love them so change will be healthful, blessing God's creation with ever greater spiritual wealth.

I was drawn to your poem because of the title. I agree...we humans (myself included) can do so much to relieve the pain and suffering of those who need it--the vulnerable, the elderly and the children. Seems as if we've forgotten how to be kind. Makes me sad. Enjoy your evening, Sara
