Light Love

I treat God light and so I treat love light,
when love’s why God created all creation,
I can’t create a thing with all my might,
yet love too is my greatest inspiration.

God’s people, children, marriage, love and sex--
what do I know of how or why they started?
I know each one can make me clear the decks,
and cure me quick of acting too hard-hearted.

I see that all together they make sense,
pop culture trashes them because it’s free to,
I think I should treat each with reverence,
or soon someone will start mistreating me too.

I know, O Lord, all these are good and true,
because, O God of love, they come from You.
