On park
Benches that Love meant for me
Would I pause to park and rest?
Within
My heart of hearts, Love waits
And misses me
With longing great…
Will I sit and visit with this Guest?

In those
Kids who chase and laugh with me
Would I see Love’s dirtied face?
From
Family I neglect to see
Who cherish me
And mem’ries share…
Will I dare receive Love’s keen embrace?

At those
Altar-tables set for me
Would I Love adore and eat?
In
Words of wisdom said to me
Written down
Or sung, or read…
Will I let Love love me, heal and teach?
