Love to be love must be somethinggoing out of oneself
for the other
no matter how far it can go
no matter how difficult the way
no matter what time it is
for love is eternal and endless.
The giving need not be too big,
it can be just a smile to cheer up
a lonely, sad and isolated heart;
or just a little tiny kind word
to lift up the spirit of a downtrodden.
Love which is giving is a spark of hope
in this dark world of selfishness.
A love sincerely given is healing
old wounds that festered the soul
and recovered quickly the times lost
in prideful and uncaring ways.
Love gives and receives more
in wondrous state of contentment
only the one who truly loves knows.
Each evening, I only ask one question,
Did I love someone today concretely?
And as I lay down my tired body
my mind and heart is at peace
with my God who is love
in the tranquility of the night
I dream of Him who said,
"whatever you do to the least
of my brethren you do unto Me."
(Mt. 25:40)
