Love Poem: A Love Filled Way

A Love Filled Way

Reflections of the whitest white
Purest seasons mirror light
Madonna and a virgin night
For us, her soul took flight!

Winter sings its showy cold.
Hatred shivers its chilly hold.
Flowers await truth’s unfold.
Sunlight glistens gold.

Gathered mob in one accord,
Crucified God’s son adored.
Judgers joined in hate, abhorred.
Shackle the sweetness of our Lord.

A Savior born in Bethlehem
A carpenter’s boy waxed strong back then.
The Son of God cried out to men
Forgive.  God loves.  Be like Him.

That cold winter passed away.
Spring’s Passover stole life…oh, day.
Resurrection brought an eternal stay.
The Truth…a love filled way.

Freed from anger, hate looses wrath.
Cleansed by truth and Salvation’s bath.
Remember the strength that the Savior hath.
We, like Him must follow love’s path.
