A Sacrificial Love

To give unselfishly
Freely, completely
Without reservation
Or restriction
Without limitation
Or inhibition
To give
All you have 
To give
And then
Once more
To bare your soul
Without recrimination
To give your heart
Without expectation
To love
Without doubt
Without fear
This is true love
Pure love
A Sacrificial Love.

He Is God

He is God
To you
To me
To every living being
To all, He is God
Always
Infinite
To the end of days
Forever, He is God
With all power and might
To give life
To smite
With all authority, He is God
With all wisdom
And knowledge complete
Willing to teach
All who would seek
Omniscient
He is God.

Divine

Peace, Love, Joy
Searched for
Sought after
Coveted 
Treasured
When wisdom is applied

When wisdom is applied
Received
Given
Remembered
Throughout infinite time

Throughout infinite time
Held dear
Held near, so clear
In hearts and souls and minds

In hearts and souls and minds
Thought of
Wished for
Yearned for
Imagined
Daydreamed and Fantasized

Daydreamed and Fantasized
The hope
The dream
The need
Complete, replete, realized

Complete, replete, realized
When given first
Then returned
Finally sincerely
Peace, love, joy
Divine.

Tomorrow

Tomorrow
I shall patiently wait
Tomorrow
I won’t be late
Tomorrow
I’ll be good
Tomorrow
I’ll do the things I should
Tomorrow
I promise, tomorrow

Tomorrow
I give
Tomorrow
I take care how I live
Tomorrow
I share
Tomorrow
I’ll show others I care
Tomorrow
I promise, tomorrow

Tomorrow
I’ll not procrastinate
Tomorrow
I’ll not show hate
Tomorrow
I’ll get things done
Tomorrow
I’ll even show love
Tomorrow
I promise, tomorrow
