What is love?

Love To Others:

Adena Paget, 1999.

There’s the love we have for our offspring

And the love we share with our siblings

There’s the love we have for our Parents

And the love we have for our friends.

All of this love is so very real

Most times it’s evident how we feel

The word is ‘love’ and yet we’re confused

There are so many differences in how it is used

In the ancient Greek language the meaning was clear

With filio’s, eros and agape

But in our English tongue it’s rolled into one

And it causes our words to get sloppy

And yet in our lives there is nothing that’s greater

It makes our life worth living

And when it’s mature has been nurtured and grown

The pleasure is all in the giving.

For unless you are willing, to be generous and giving

And not hold on too tight

The love that was meant to make life worth living

Well; it just won’t be quite right

I guess we can say as we give it away

“I’m so glad to be part of the chain”

We receive it on one hand and give on the other

It often eases the pain

Love unconditional is never positional

It shouldn’t matter, who

For with Christ at the head in His Word, he has said

“My love I give unto you”.

As we journey through life with our worries and strife

Let the love of God reflect,

Off of you unto others our sisters and brothers

And just wait and enjoy the effect.
