Show Me.
Take me aside and show me an
attitude that over-rides
doubt and is non-judgemental,
a love that tries hard to provide
reasons for misbehaviour,
finds ways of preventing fights
and prays for both
victim and for the perpetrator.
Guide me to traits that relieve
hidden pain and exist
to aid true friendship survival,
show me love that will outshine
hate, research all the facts,
a care that dares to reprieve by
forgiving, faces trials
with mature understanding,
feels delight in all seen as worth
more than acceptance
and refuses to hear bitter words.
Many harshly meant slights fail
to ignite if shown
rightful compassion, awareness
of true brotherhood
and feeds ire comforting food.
Lord hear this request I pray,
take me aside
and teach me love's way
to live the best life.

Amen!
Double Amen!
Excellent write Fay.
Its all about love really isn't it. But learning to love and what love is takes a lifetime.
Fay this is so good and different from your usual style of writing - I like it very much.
I agree with the others. This is most certainly shifted from your usual style. I like it. Love's way is something I would also like to learn, in due time of course. Best wishes, Fay.
Thank you for this timely prayer which reflects your wisdom and beautiful heart, Fay. I share it with you deeply.
Thanks FAY ~ the BIBLE teaches that "A GENTLE answer defuses WRATH !" I have found this to work in real life. When we bring the ATTITUDES expressed in the Nine Fruit of the Spirit (Love ~ Joy ~ Peace etc) into real life situations then miracles do really happen ! Thanks for caring ~ yours as ever BRIAN
Wonderful prayer. Amen.
I've trained all my life to love. Today I'm an expert. For me love is comfort because it is simple. It is just so easy. Beautiful prayer Fay.
I know it has been said several times before, but I think Amen say's it all ..... N x
Thanking you humbly...................... love is forever and it is enough -- eh ?..........................x
