“The Gift of Love”
It is so beautiful to see
And I wonder how ’could be
With these eyes I realize
Life on earth is so diverse
It is so beautiful to hear
No one knows how that could be
With these ears I feel the waves
Of sound, washing ever over me
It is so beautiful to know
Relationships may come, and go
Love remains without an end
It is Love itself
So if life is not beautiful for you
If pain and fear obscure your view
Hold fast to that which never ends
Hold to the You of you
For inside each, God’s seed resides
Covered with soil, ripe with promise
Waiting until that special time
That comes, without warning
So if you doubt as all may do
And if you cry in fear of pain
And if you sigh without a hope
Remember Who you truly are
For inside each a flower grows
Taking nourishment to fuel its growth
Waiting until the perfect time
When its beauty can fully bloom
Beauty is not always pretty
Sometimes, it’s only a glow
A glimmer ‘neath the mighty forces
Causing fear, trembling and pain
Bravery is beauty in action
Caring confirms what the heart bestows
Love is all that really matters
The gift of life is all it knows
When you experience another’s caring
When you feel touched and compelled to give
Living your life always in service
Beauty is service, as well as a rose
Caring will lead you in right direction
Caring will fill your heart with peace
Anxiety is only the ego speaking
Love is why we each have come
So, let not your life be troubled
See each event for the growth it brings
‘Till, full of wisdom, spent, used up
You return to Love, to love again
