We Pretend to See

In the beginning God

though we are blind we pretend to see
Paul was blinded by the light
but could see again more clearly
Hate has many friends love has fewer
they play poker for high stakes you and me
Nothing is free everything costs
Love has a price so does death
Love has many too many definitions pick one
Like the tempting fruit in the Garden of Eden
Pick one appropriate for the occasion
So defines a life 
Even the wind and waves obey Him
Life has enough troubles without creating more
They all ate and were satisfied 
Hunger for that which brings life
And all who touched Him were healed 
The body needs healing but the soul more 

They saw the stone had been rolled away
