Love Enough

So everywhere I go I hear the same,
“I do not love, I do not love enough,”
and everyone I know asks, “Who’s to blame?”
To face myself for real is very tough.

We are so weak, to love we must be strong,
just take one thing--we’re glued to gluttony,
while others need us--and we don’t have long,
it is for them I must develop me.

God loves enough, so I should love Him best,
Christ--other-focused--showed me how to care,
here in the cross is where I should invest,
but after me, what love have I to spare?

To them I have enough of love to give,
You made me, Lord, now help me how to live.
