Thought
Without love we are empty shells
That fail to take the time hear
When listening to a tale of war
For fear of missing cricket score
Without love we are empty shells
When our eyes turn from refugees
And beatings cruel so far away
Because at home we’re just okay
Without love we are empty shells
When deep sorrows raise alarms
When we don’t offer bread or tea
To those who might go hungry
Without love we are but empty shells
When we criticize with hurtful words
Insensitive to wounds that inflict
Because we’re better and are strict
Without love we are empty shells
When we fail to shed a loving tear
When our hearts are stony cold
While others are in slavery sold
If God is love and God is all
Can we stand aloof and be so tall?
Can we not hang on His every word?
Listening with love to what is heard
Should not our hearts be fully bled?
When we see He’s not been fed
When He, suffering in body mind
Can’t we give solace and be kind?
Prayer
O Lord open up my closed heart so that there is not one grain of selfishness. Reduce my ego to ashes and make my heart an open channel for Your Love and Grace.
