Loving People
Life without love is tantamount to a body without blood.
Oratory is a great gift made better if followed with action.
Voices of calm, hope, and kindness can replace fear with love.
I, plus you and they, must see each other as God sees us all.
Nevertheless, However, and Moreover are words that connect other words.
Grace is to be granted by us, in as much as it has been given to us by God.
People I've met, befriended, and befriended by them.
Every waking moment, nights of quiet and sweet sleep.
Opportunities that came and the choice of yea or nay.
Power is not to control people, but to rule one's own spirit.
Love, the Christ kind, endures forever, loving all, judging none.
Evils seen in others remind me; 'But for God's Grace, there go I'.
