Ways to be more loving

There must be ways to be more loving

As we release the old hurts now passed

God let me remember all of this was only for

Our growth and learning

And let us not forget to have compassion

For those who truly have the need

For empathy

So often lately I see only the injuries

And I forget that at any moment

The pathways we are travelling on

Can lead into better places

My heart ached tonight to hear you say

You have had enough

But I get it

My anger was about the past

But now I would rather embrace you

I know I cannot make you live

But one day I sincerely hope

You get to feel and see the healing rays

Of your inner Sun

Before it is all too late

And feeling this pain just reminded me today

Of how all anyone longs for

Is to be known and loved
