Love is Unselfish

 The Gift of Love

The gift of love
oft spoken of but rarely known,
These thoughts conciliate at best
a grace discussed but never shown.

Come forth within a heart
so full with all the Spirit of the Lord
Now! Reaching out to destiny
no hesitation can afford.

To see a light so clear, sincere,
without a doubtful word or sound
Now see to others interests first
and to a God so pure, unselfish,
beginning and an end now found.

Forget those foolish notions,
of how to please yourself,
and realize a deeper truth,
To magnify your inner health.

Its not the health we read of.
that all mankind does seek.
This isn’t really health at all.
In truth it only makes us weak.

The only fitness fit to gain , 
Is fitness of your soul. 
It makes you strong . 
in all the ways that really count,
Where love alone can make you whole.
