Went for a Walk
I went for a walk today
But really walking's how I pray
I prayed to God up above
For him to show me how to love
I think I may have done it wrong
Not just this time but all along
You see....,
"Love is precocious and innocent
Not self-righteous and dissonant
Love is acceptance and compromise
Not a tool with which to ostracize
Love is boundless and abundant
Not binding and reductant
Love is careful and yet fearless
Never easy and never tearless
Love is blindly unassuming
Never wilted,endless blooming
Love is allowing and imprecise
Love is selflessness and sacrifice
Love is reckless and it's stupid
Not flowers and candy or even cupid
What makes love love is it's simplicity
We were made to know how to love implicitly
Love is messy and less than perfect
But let me tell you love is worth it
Give me back this sacred gift,this innate ability
Either let me love or please set me free"
So despite the anguish and trials I might face
This is what I pray for as I walk in your grace....
"If by love I am defeated each and every day
Please Lord let me wake each next one choosing love still anyway."
