Let's Run Away and Remember...Love

Let's run away and remember...Kara Tippetts

Let's run away and remember

Not how we may have failed

But how we re-learned laughter

Where love loved and prevailed

After perhaps, we stumbled

Hard-humbled by regret

When love lavished with kisses

To heal and then forget

Let's run away and remember

How, before December was

June blushed lush green with nuances

Love's sweet, fleet camoflouge

Where we, love-struck believers

Began to learn its truth

In ways stunning and foreign

To dreamers wearing youth

Let's run away and remember

Counting backwards, one by one

The April-to-September

Rendezvous through rain and sun

And let's remember just enough

Of what love should not be

To help us to remember

To love with humility

Let's run away and remember

Love; old, middle-aged, brand-new

Because, though time brings change

Love never fails; sometimes we do

Then, because love is gentle

And patient, good and kind

We forget just enough to keep

Love tender-hearted, blind

 And be ye kind one to another, tenderhearted, 

forgiving one another, 

even as God for Christ's sake hath forgiven you.

 Eph.4:32
