Love Letter

How precious is time's parchment...


How holy is the script
Of word and deed...



1 John 3:18
My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, 
but in deed and in truth.

For our benefit, aid and comfort we have a love letter
written for every one of us from the Giver of every life!
Oh, that we would pore over it as thoroughly as someday
He will pore over ours!




Life is like a love letter
Each day is like a page
That bears the font of care and want
And passions we engage

The voice of choice is telling
It draws on what we think
How sacred is the hug and kiss
Of love’s permanent ink

While we weather the hurtles
Of livings highs and lows
We oft forget the sacred ‘yet’
That smiles and tears compose

We should be very prayerful/careful
Love cannot tell a lie
Each new day thrums with what becomes
Testaments of reply

How precious is time’s parchment
How holy is the script
Of word and deed that will succeed
The life that authored it

...for a Most Sacred/Solemn Meeting
As God reads each page through
A tell-all tale that will unveil
Who we were writing to
