Of Realities...

Mankind lives in a world

Of harsh reality

And so much that

We cannot change

Or satisfy

Or see

Fear is a thief of peace

Faith is a guiding light

Where we are often

Torn between

Fear’s darkness

And faith’s light

The high and low of life

Allots its groaning shares

But never without

Hope and grace

Of God who knows

And cares

The prizes that we prize

Will never be enough

If we try to

Press it into

The part reserved

For love

The heart can never hold

The clutter of cold toys

But it can overflow

With more

Than enough

Of love’s joys

As soon as we try to replace love with things we lose out.

We were made to need each other.

Let’s remember this in this ‘season of love’

And try not to be overtaken with’ Stuff’
