And the Meek Shall Not…..

I try to do the right thing
But my passionate heart often forgets,
What it’s like to be broken and forgotten…
Still the temptations of the body sway
Like pussy willows on tall but fragile stems,
Heads hidden within the ground’s shadow
Afraid to peer into the Heavens;
Surreal is this fear that brings tears and puddles,
Raining down in thunderous anger and pity
Before silently ending in an impasse of forgiveness…
A calming love of reflecting waters
Where salvation and truth will rise to the surface,
For only a blink and the shattering of humility’s mirror,
To those like myself,
Who love themselves a little too much…

Marcel

Well, I am of the humble opinion, that if we love ourself ~ then others will follow!

However, the one who loves us best ~ is Our Father.
