The Balm of Love

…………   The Balm of Love   ……….
 When the world seems upside down…I release more Love not less.
  When I feel contempt for those who justify hatred and violence, I offer more Love, not less.
  When my fears are so many that I cannot see to accept anothers point of view. I give more Love, not less.
 When my failures bring me shame and push me to my knees, I give my own heart, more Love, not less.
  I now, hereby proclaim!, that no matter what seems to be on the surface, the power of Love will always, ultimately, serve her purpose, if I am willing to invite her presence.
  The flower dries, she bows to the sun. The seed falls and for a time she hides under the cold dark earth.
She sleeps. Then…in due season, sprouts anew.
  Oh precious rose! What Angel has breathed in you that you have become so beautiful? Your fragrance fills the whole world.
 Your lovliness captures my heart, as I open up my arms to receive forgiveness for my humaness.
  And now, as I experience Loves unconditional pardon…I turn, to empty my heart, again and again,
     To be….
           The healing balm of Love,
                 upon…the pains…..
                      of a new birth.
