May The Flame

May the true everlasting flame
Of love, mercy, kindness, and compassion watch over us.
As a mom watches her child,
So Jesus, teach us your ways,
For the gospel is the truth forever in your heart.

Jesus, who is love, light, and joy,
May you be our joy in the fall,
That we may carry your teachings always.

So that we might live
As the final love
In the hearts of others forever.

Amen

  1. Thanks for another poem. I especially like the idea of asking Jesus to teach us His ways as a mother teaches her child. I like being reminded of a favorite church song in your embroidery. It goes nicely with the poem.

  2. Ruth Ann eagerly replied that she wanted to hear Your new poem. She liked your idea of comparing the teachings of Jesus and a mother. I described in detail Your embroidery and its origin. She exclaimed that it must be beautiful.
