Unrequited Love

God is the ultimate lover.

 

Unrequited Love

 

There is no greater sadness

Than the unrequited love

Of Christ, our Lord and Savior

Who mourns us from above

He showers us with blessings

(He gave his life for us)

Yet daily, we ignore him

Why do we treat him thus?

 

I can only imagine

The pain that he must feel

Watching us destroy ourselves

As we lie and cheat and steal

Spurned, some lovers turn to hatred

Are bitter and want to die

Others wallow in self-pity

Wasting their lives and wondering why

 

The Lord is an ideal lover

Patient, loving and kind

Who loves us unconditionally

He will never leave us behind

When others have deserted us

With our broken hearts to mend

Our Lord, the perfect lover

Will be with us to the end

Yes, and HE Wait's for us to care enough to say hello, Our Lord's LOVE, we can only take bits and pieces at the time and survive, our body is too frail for a full dose. I love your beautiful poem Bea, thank you for sharing with me. God Bless you.

No criticism from me anyway, superb thoughts turned to paper. Pity stuff like this couldnt be published to the bible, it really makes you think about God's felings. Unrequitd love....God is one person I never thought of to be in that position and its true....fantastic writing. Going to my favourites for dfinite.
