Love Will Heal the World
there are so many different kinds of LOVE
but Agape ... is the highest
there is Familial, Eros, and Philia_
and there is healing "Agape"
in forgiving and kindness
to all who have hurt us ...
~ in my HEART I will only hold serenity
and in my soul will dwell COURAGE to follow my path
and only tranquility will leave my lips ~
I hear the WHISPERING ... of the Lord
he tells me to have faith
and hope and to live in grace
to keep peace within me always
and to seek to do the right thing
for the Lord is Agape ...
~ it is vast and infinite and eternal
filling me with INSPIRATION and fathomless strength
and in PRAYERS I ask for the Lords blessing ~
REFLECTING on my life thus far
I hold close my Familial ... my FAMILY
and though they dwell above now- they are with me
oh, I have known Eros romance and lust
I have been PASSIONATE and been desired
and been blessed with Philia ... friendships unconditional
and in the Lord found my HOME...
~ the Agape within in me is limitless and pure
I welcome the lost and help with kindness the found
I listen and respect with selfless caring ~
but, I have one question Lord
the unconditional feelings I hold for each pet I have had
and the way they accept me with no rules or reason
is this your divine Agape ?
