After a while
you learn the difference
between holding a hand
and chaining a soul.
You learn that love isn't leaning,
but lending support.
You begin to accept your defeats
with the grace of an adult,
not the grief of a child
You decide to build
your roads on today,
for tomorrow's ground
is too uncertain.
You help someone plant a garden
instead of waiting
for someone to bring you flowers.
You learn that God has given you
the strength to endure.
and that you really do have worth.
Faith, Hope, Love abide,
these three;
but the greatest of these
is LOVE.

not having your faith.
I completely agree with all that you have written. Well said.
To ones ownself be true.
Beautiful verse...........
Your poem reminded me of this song that I love to sing.
So You Would Come
Before the world began,
You were on His mind,
And every tear you cry,
Is precious in His eyes.
Because of His great love,
He gave His only Son,
And everything was done,
So you would come.
Nothing you can do,
Will make Him love you more,
And nothing that you've done,
Will make Him close the door.
Because of His great love,
He gave His only Son,
Everything was done,
So you would come.
Come to the Father,
Though your gift is small,
Broken hearts, broken lives,
He will take them all.
The power of His love,
The power of His blood,
And everything was done,
So you would come.
-Hillsong-
He did it all for us....everything except force us to accept His love.
