How much am I prepared to love? To open my heart to trust what love I offer will be accepted is always risky. I love this painful, broken path that God calls me into - deeper into loving.
I find that love
Starts
With reaching out
To touch
Another’s wounds
Finding
That special word
Spoken kindly
Is where
Love begins.
I don’t know much
Except
I can choose
To love
Even when confused
Or dismayed
When
My fears overwhelm me
I reach out
Into darkness
Choosing to love.
Love is about now
Kindness now
Soft words
Now
Forgiveness now
Not something hoped for
No
The words I speak today
Finding a heart
Needing love
Broken
Open to my love.
