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
