The Love Of God

When a man loves a woman,
holds her flesh to his flesh
and feels bound to the earth,
is that not the love of God?

When a mother clutches infant,
amazed, bewildered, sensing a
bridge between two souls--
is that not the love of God?

When a soldier under fire,
fearful to his sweat, throws
his sweet life onto a grenade,
is that not the love of God?

And when He went knowingly,
willingly, to torture and death
to save a universe of souls,
was that not the love of God?

Thank you-- I glad it meant something to you. I think with all the dogma and theology and general cynicism of our so-called modern age, we loose sight of what an extraordinary and unique man Jesus was. I have come to realize over 70 years that his understanding of human psychology was unmatched in history, as was his love for all of us lesser vessels....
