Known by Love
We are not well;
yet no doctor needed.
We are sick,
but do not need to bed.
We ignore the inner
forget our strength.
We lack trust and
our ability to live.
We have mercy;
we sacrifice;
we are not righteous, yet
we are not sinners!
We reform,
we repent,
we refresh our souls,
and search for what God has given . . .
Love!

I am a retired high school and college professor. The last 10 years of my teaching was as a college professor of literature and writing. I have self-published one book of prayers and meditations and am preparing another book of poetic odes to faith and love. I am truly honored to be welcomed into this group.
