I enjoyed your poem very much and wanted to comment on the love from the
high holy temple. These are things I believe to be true.
God has put in every human being the desire to love and be loved. The
desire to live forever and He has also given us hope in those desires. Hope
is an expectation of the fullfillment of His promises.
Everything we experience in this life is a necessary part of our
relationship to our Father (Heavenly). He promised to reconcile all things
unto Himself (Colossians 1:16-20 ),and to wipe all our tears away
(Revelation 7:17& Rev.21:4).
Christ willingly took on the form of man ,to taste physical suffering and
death for every man (Hebrews 2:9) so that he would experience Himself what
He had ordained for others. It also "became God, for whom are all things,
and by whom are all things, in bringing many sons unto glory, to make the
captain of their salvation perfect through sufferings" (Hebrews 2:10). And
we have a Savior who is not without sympathy (Hebrews 2:17&18),(Revelation
4:15&16). Love always seeks the well-being and happiness of others.
It cost Christ His life, all we can do is appreciate and be thankful that
we're loved just the way we are (love begets love) He always loved us
first. We didn't ask to be born, We didn't ask for our parents, our
personalities, the eyes we see with, the air we breath, etc. They are all
gifts from our Father, He also promised to love and bless us now and
Forever.
We can be brave and boldly go into the presence of our Father, it is His
good pleasure to take care of the needs of His children.

the poem speaks of the universal truth that is love...... the wisdon of the
heart that never fails .... the triumph of imagination over
intellect....... love... love n love....... that's all we need.........

This poem is just so touching and very true. Everyone goes through the
feeling of being lonely or letting love or something important pass them
by, because they're too afraid to grasp it. But with faith and and hope
things will go right for us.

This poem is so very true. I understand it all. Some day, sometime,
everyone will feel this way.
