[written 8/11/16]

when I think about God
I can write about love
the beauty of what it looks like
the reward of what comes forth

but when I think about some relationships
beauty’s the last word
that comes to mind
and I’m left with wondering

why?

God created relationship
if two people do it well
beauty shouldn’t be missing
it should be seen

so through the eyes of God
what should love look like?

walking hand in hand
talking and listening
building up
not tearing down
love’s giving attention
and joining in fun
digging for gold
and not wasting it

love should never be
the silent treatment
or actions from spite

love’s asking questions
and hearing opinions
it’s being who you are
ALL the time
and being present
when you’re there

do you see love?
