Love of Another


This is a tough question

But here is my expression

If I gave careful contemplation

The one thing I can’t live without…

Would be the love of other beings

To settle under their arms like a mother hen gathers her chicks

Or to communicate face to face when one of us is sick

The ocean tides sweep back and forth without pause to consider living forms beneath its surface

Love stays earnest, gives peace, joy, kindness, never-failing all I could wish for in cursive

In my savior and Lord Jesus Christ who gave salvation freely

I have found his love in me to last completely  

The one thing I can’t live without…

The love of another being

I could share in my mother, my brother, and my God giving me healthy nutrition

And fulfill love’s definition
