LOVE THERE –

ALWAYS THERE

Love, floating towards us
like a swan on a mirror lake;
or love, like a child seeing
us coming in the door and rushing
across the room to hug us;
love, like a surprise phone call,
or a note or a wave or a beep
from a car as we walk up the street;
love, love signs, blessed sacraments
that God is in the slow as well as
the rush of life – not just in the crush
of death and disappointments.
Thank you God. Thank YOU.
