Fay Slimm - Show Me Love.

Take me aside and show me love that over-rides
Doubt, is non-judgemental, a love that finds ways
Of refusing to fight, believes in providing
Reasons for misbehaviour and, yes, prays
For both victim and perpetrator. Love
Like this exists, and survives to relieve.
..................................
Show me a love that outshines hate, and above
All, a love that dares to forgive and reprieve.
Faces life with understanding, feels delight
In all that is worthy of being thought good.
...................................
Many harsh words and hurts fail to ignite
If shown bountiful love and fed love's food.
