"Love One Another"
Poem of the Day - 4/9/20
Audio Version of Today's Poem
Love one another
This is Jesus' command
On the surface so simple
Still, hard to understand
For what does love look like?
It's more than "playing nice"
And what does love sound like?
Just kind words won't suffice
It goes so much deeper
Requiring sacrifice, at times loss
As in the prayer by St Ignatius -
Give, and don't count the cost
Do not leave out forgiveness
Perhaps that's most important of all
Reconciling with our neighbor
Instead of putting up a wall
To love is to be vulnerable,
That's what CS Lewis states
To do this he assures us
Our hearts surely will break
Yet, this is what we're called to
Jesus gave us this command
On the surface so simple
Still, hard to understand
