A Sweeping Invitation (to love)

For today's Two-for-Tuesday prompt:Write a love poem, and/or...Write an anti-love poem. A new commandment I give you: Love one another. As I have loved you, so you also must love one another. Be devoted to one another in brotherly love. Outdo yourselves in honoring one another. Now about brotherly love, you do not need anyone to write to you, because you yourselves have been taught by God to love one another. And let us consider how to spur one another on to love and good deeds. Love’s sweeping invitation crescendos; soft blush and blue... ...Turns gold as renewed Mercy spills, as morning is unfurled Love’s sweeping invitation saturates heaven and earthHow we reply is crucial; for love is a sacred callAnd no one is exempt from its incalculable worth, Fathers, mothers, daughters and sons, neighbors and friends, oh mySisters, brothers, grandma, grandpa, grandchildren, husband, wifeSo much to love, so little time, to utter our replyTo fellowman, but most of all to He who grants us life The poetry of love is more than ink-endearments penned(though The Bard and The Ballad are insep’rable, tis true)Love is a language we struggle to fully comprehendBeginning, first with God, who IS Love, then with me and you Look, everywhere the opportunity to love aboundsHow we reply, without a word, expresses evidenceLet’s slow down; listen longer where love’s need and creed resoundsAnd change the world with love’s unfathomable recompense Imagine if we all did our little part to loveTo lend a helping hand or walk a second mile, to prayTo live the loving kindness this old world needs much more ofAnd leave unspoken bitter words that love would/should never say Love’s sweeping invitation crescendos; soft blush and blueTurns gold as renewed Mercy spills, as morning is unfurledAnd God extends love's faithfulness to likes of me and youTo help us love each other as we ought, in this old world © Janet Martin So much to love,...Pups...Yesterday morning I noticed the tip of a tail...😂💖 Neighbor's dog (also mentioned )  had dropped by in hopes of a treat😆Who could possibly resist those eyes!!
