If light can only go in light-year time,
my thoughts can travel faster in my mind;
I see the past and future in their prime,
but thoughts alone cannot make us be kind.
Our words are not as wide as thoughts may be,
though written words are seen, those spoken, heard;
but words won't quench my thirst as much as tea,
and bellies can't be filled up with a word.
Our thoughts and words aren't lovers like our deeds,
they're nice, but it's on food that people feed;
it's action that fulfills our human needs,
we want our hearts to love and not just bleed.
O God, I want my love to merit true,
not just believe or think or talk, but do.
