Grand-daughter is 4 mos. old!
(There are no words for this kind of love)💗
When it comes to love there is SO much to live for
and SO MUCH more then to care/long/pray for !
Love makes life's most common moments sacred!
But, WOW, love is hard work by God's grace isn't it?!
Still, it is life's one certain success because
Love never fails...
Love kicks us down and picks us up and turns the other
cheek
It makes us careful, prayerful, brave; It makes us strong and weak
Love teaches us that what we learn will keep us on our
knees
How flash of common moments metes forever-memories
Love’s ash of days-gone-by can sting the eye and wring
the heart
Where life, in spite of all its flaws turns into
priceless art
That we press into places where want’s longing would seep
through
Save for love’s friendly faces framing lists of lots-to-do
Love breaks the mold that makes us older quicker than we
dreamed
It wreaks havoc on plans and selfish Grand Escapes we
schemed
It humbles us with stumbles then grants Reason to proceed
Where love in all its seasons binds us by its kindred
need
Love does not criticize but is compassionate and kind
The more of it we give away the more of it we find
where nothing is enough without love; then let’s try
To do our part to give away what money cannot buy
Love stretches us and squishes us like silly-putty, oh
It tests the best of Good Intent with simple ‘yes’ and ‘no’
It is a savage beast but oh, it is a gentle dove
It makes the most of Very Least, so Lord, teach us to
love
For You are rich in mercy and forgive us if we slip
You never let us go but keep us firmly in Love's grip
You are the role model for we, who can make such a mess
Of blessings that you grant and intend for our happiness
Love, like a bar of slippery soap is hard to squeeze
and hold
It won’t stay put in pockets but turns coppers into gold
And paupers into kings; love makes faith greater than our
fears
Whilst stirring sweetest laughter and begetting saddest
tears
