Love Letter

How precious is time's parchment... How holy is the scriptOf word and deed... 1 John 3:18My little children, let us not love in word or in tongue, but in deed and in truth. For our benefit, aid and comfort we have a love letterwritten for every one of us from the Giver of every life!Oh, that we would pore over it as thoroughly as somedayHe will pore over ours! Life is like a love letterEach day is like a pageThat bears the font of care and wantAnd passions we engage The voice of choice is tellingIt draws on what we thinkHow sacred is the hug and kissOf love’s permanent ink While we weather the hurtlesOf livings highs and lowsWe oft forget the sacred ‘yet’That smiles and tears compose We should be very prayerful/carefulLove cannot tell a lieEach new day thrums with what becomesTestaments of reply How precious is time’s parchmentHow holy is the scriptOf word and deed that will succeedThe life that authored it ...for a Most Sacred/Solemn MeetingAs God reads each page throughA tell-all tale that will unveilWho we were writing to © Janet Martin
