Linda Winchell - 'Have Love For All'

2014-06-15 1

It is easiest to love those, it seems
who only love us back!
Yet, not it seems for those, who don't!
we don't or won't, cut them any slack!

But God's golden rule
is too ' Have love for your fellow man'
I guess this is easier, said, then done?
and always try, to love them if you can!

Sometimes we all seem to harbor
a spirit, much like those, of the Pharisees.
Pointing all kinds of fingers at others sins, not ours!
and feeling, holier than thow, with ease!

The test of real love, however
is an unselfish heart and mind!
To give to the bad as well as the good
to be generous, and Godly kind.

One gift of growing older I've found
is ones humility, now much easier achieved.
A tenderness grips our souls and hearts
and comforts fully, our spirits needs.
