HOPE
Living on Love
St. Therese of Lisieux
excerpt:
Living on Love is banishing every
fear
what ever fear that need the
finger pointed to
they are the love itself
Blessed? They are the love itself
aging irrelevant
failure success loss
health irrelevant
of past faults
Every memory of past faults keep
the dwelling on past faults keep
us wound
I find in our little
self when I put in much time
thinking about our words said or
doing
I am not able to recover or
have the memory of my people regrets
I see no imprint of my sins
Did they sins mark me like
tattoes
or scarring? Are they scars
in my heart
the people I've
hurt or disappointed
