More than mere emotion,
not bound by our intellect,
but replete with perfect
knowledge; more than we
can express and just enough
to fill us —undiminished
and full to abundance;
we cannot give away more
than we receive, for it is He
who first showed us.
Song writers claim to capture it
in the summer’s repeated verse,
while poets try to rename it
but find no single image or word;
a child’s voice calls it out
while plucking petals from daisies;
a parent is startled by its clarity
after first holding a new baby.
It predates us and will
go on forever;
it ignites our spirits
and defines our humanity;
it welcomes us at birth
and follows us in death;
it never changes
and never fails;
perfect and pure,
Love endures.
