The Fullness of Love

Faith does not end

Though our eyes cannot see

Beyond where sky brushes sod

Faith swells from fathoms

Of mystery

Where hearts trust humbly in God

Hope does not end

In spite of our grief

It leaps from well-springs within

Hope is the foothold

Of our belief

In He who forgives every sin

Love does not end

Though death kisses the cheek

Of those we cherish most dear

Beautiful love

When we cannot speak

It flows in every tear

During the wedding reception, (my friend, the pianist at Rob and Emily’s wedding) received word that her mother had passed away. She left the house of rejoicing to go to the house of mourning…

Love; the fullness of both joy and sorrow align in its every breath.

 And now these three remain: faith, hope and love. But the greatest of these is love. 1 Cor. 13:13
