To the Christ.
What kind of love is this?
A love so pure and perfect
that it cannot help but die for its beloved.
A love so everlasting
that eternity is swallowed up in its wings.
A love so unfailing
that it remains faithful through
a thousand betrayals.
A love so tender
that it washes away the tears of the world.
A love so powerful
that it breaks the teeth of death
and conquers all the powers of darkness.
You suffffered and the world laughed;
You died and everyone went back to work.
You rose and now at last I realize that
my moments matter, both today,
and for forever.
