Love

Central to virtue

Mother birthing children

of kindness, caring

With hearts of compassion

so we act

Love growing, expanding

into fabric of world

through personal interaction

causes uplifting

passionate caring—

of our sacred heart

the Sacred Heart of God

God's love enlivening

borders dissolving, overflowing

Passion in action

A most holy outcome

So pure

With attitude, actions born of love

goodness compounding

spreading before us

A ready banquet quenching true hunger

Soul hunger

to know, imbibe of the dear Lord

our most intimate Love and Lover

Holy Love

reflecting the crystal of God

Beginning internally, growing externally

through expressions of kindred respect

Love's superlatives never-ending

Love motivating

waking us with energy at morn

allowing sweet slumber

and in between

thoughts of love enlivening

Active in love by actions of love
