Love!...
Love!---makes the
world go ’round…while He keeps us
sane!!
So very much
“Goodness” in our world:
Soft-eyes to tender
gaze upon a sweet face;
Tender-touch to
empathize “I love you!”;
Sweet-fragrant swirl
imbue my memory;
Honey-kiss delight-of-ecstasy
satiate;
Whisper-caress
canyon-echo pleasure.
While
purpose-practiced all around---
Praise!
Honor! Glory!
I found…
Salutations
myriad Love!-intent bound!
Amen!
So simple-I do humble-search subtle
follow-trace
Jesus’-Light
inviting glows should I honor His place
In that
judgment-instant too late to plead poor case
Only
whisper-wind soft-gaze upon a forgiving face
Pray! I ran
straight & fair & true this challenge-race
Perish
wretched-body save spirit/soul in
time & space
Sky-cerulean
pure-cloud reflect sacred-filigree white-lace
Eternal
cadenced-beating heart sweet memories Love-base
For
chances-myriad I have eschewed in vacant-haste
Stained-soul
replete “Forgive me!?” Innocent-chaste
Amen!
Consider such:
Live!
Love! Laugh! Focus-contemplate!
Vigilant-be! Not
one future is ever late!
To a sacred
conclusion---To wit…
Faith!
Family! Freedom!
Might just be all there really---Is!
In one eternal
instant the only mercy-blessing will be…His!
Amen!

Day 240
Carl having
flowers delivered to school for his Lovely Lady
(& sometimes
there was a surprise gift inside)
A
hopeless romantic!? You bet! And, I
practice---everyday…all the time.
My
extreme pleasure is to make someone happy by acknowledging their effort toward life.
Love makes “giving”
a self-serving pleasure; throw in a “surprise”---and…Voila! Perfect!
Candy
taught school for some twenty-five years and, then at the local library for
another ten; I played at working a J
- O – B, too. (Had a “job” one time---didn’t like it!)
On
special occasions like her birthday or our wedding anniversary, I sent her
flowers at school; often the bouquet held a little “surprise” for her---jewelry
or…some other fou-fou-rah!
Somewhere
along the line I decided to be the “caring” husband, I began sending the
goodies for no reason other than to say “I love you!”
Once
in a while, some of her co-workers would make snide comments about my
gift-giving offering explanations as to what I had transgressed to reward such
hopeful-forgiveness. Okay! So their spouses lacked the emotional veracity to
give gifts for special occasions, much less out of the clear-blue. So, I made a
joke out of the exercise saying, “She got flowers because we live near a cemetery
and every time they bury some dead body, I go by and harvest some of the
discarded bouquets---(pause)…sometimes I even get some real nice ones that last
a day, or two!”
(Yeah!
There are a lot of things to be said
about me---one of them is…I have a unique sense-of-humor. Often, just a bit too
unique! Is that a synonym for weird?)
My
special delight is giving---I call
it…“Christian-generosity”. The reward is self-pleasing.
And,
the “gift” can be simple: a phone
call, a gentle touch, even, a smile! Ain’t Love
grand?
Maybe---if we all intend a little “pleasure”…the
world might become a better place. I pray!
Amen!
Ah! Cookie Jar Sweet “Surprise!” Memories!
