That's true, Lord:
love can be a very complicated affair!
But it seems to me that true love,
real love, selfless love, genuine love
ought to be, on the whole,
not very complicated at all
but rather simple,
not easy, but simple...
True love seeks naught for itself
but simplylooks to the other first,
to tend the other's needs...
Real love is as simple as
giving away one's heart to another
without fear of losing anything
and with hope of finding everything...
Selfless love is as simple as
letting go my heart
into another's heart
- with no strings attached...
Genuine love is as simple as
your love for me, Lord:
giving for the sake of giving,
caring for the sake of caring,
forgiving for the sake of mercy,
loving for the sake of love...
It's true, Lord:
love can be a very complicated affair
but it seems to me that true love,
real love, selfless love, genuine love
ought to be, on the whole,
not very complicated at all
but rather simple,
not easy, but simple...
Disentangle my heart
and its relationships, Lord,
that I might love as simply
as I am loved by you...
Give me a simple heart
and a simple love, O Lord,
and let that be enough indeed,
let that be more than enough,
I pray...
Amen.
