Scent Of Love

Scent Of Love

There is the scent of love

under girding the promises of life

In our being, in our need

to sense the miracle

of God's love as our very essence

So that His love becomes more

than wanting to be right

and to understand that

each of us can stumble and get upset

when it's too dark in the night

For sometimes life is so much more

than we can ever dare to cope

But, if we hold true

then God will bring us His abiding hope

For our hearts to be big enough

to begin anew upon tomorrow

and let yesterday slide away

to keep it's passing sorrow

When sometimes, some days

we can't give of our best

and utter in the confusion

things that are never meant

We learn somehow to live above

mistakes and little flaws

and not demand perfection

but cry unto the Lord

For the kindness every day

to forgive another....

and ourselves, the more

Thus in the never ending miracle

of love's abiding essence

we will rise each day, to walk onward

ever upward

in eternal loveliness
