Unrequited Love
Have you ever sipped
from the
Chalice of unrequited
love?
If so, then how bitter
and unfulfilling you
Will certainly perceive
it to be.
Unrequited love declared
The lyricist is a bore,
In a jazzy musical score.
But that to my reasoning
is merely
An unwanted chore,
For does it not always
leave you
Looking for much more?
A gifted vocalist of
our
Own musical age,
Declared in a verse that
unrequited
Love left him feeling
pretty bad.
So for him and all grieving
Aficionados I say: how sad!
Again if first love is
last love
Then last love must be
eternal love?
Or as a French librettist
declared:
The
joys of love are but a moment long,
the
pain of love endures a whole life long.
Yet does not the Holy
Bible truly blazon:
"For God so loved the World that He gave His only begotten Son."
Now that to me is love
from
The gates of Heaven,
Never unrequited, and
never
To be forgotten.
For the hand of God gives,
And the magisterial hand of God truly takes!
Remember, God's lasting
love to
Each of us is never wasted,
Rather it arrives as
a lasting legacy
That can never be closed.
Sadly I once knew a man
who in an
Unguarded moment of candour,
Informed me that the
two celebrated
Loves of his life-knew
nothing of his ardour,
And that somewhere hidden
in a region
Of his bruised heart,
Away from all prying
eyes would dwell
Forever his promised
love that none would ever visit or forever depart.
Remember: all pain however
unbearable,
Eventually becomes just
acceptable!
Yet God's all consuming
love
When it arrives from
above,
Comes without compromise
Or with any hidden surprise.
In
God's love we can forever rest
In safety and shelter,
In His grasp we will
find no
Sadness-pain-or fear,
And for that profound
blessing
I give a grateful cheer!
I suspect that John 3:16
must be the
Most famous and quoted
passage of
The New Testament.
And
why not. Its lasting message is as
Relevant today as when
the youngest
Disciple was inspired
to write it.
But love when it arrives,
comes in many
Tetra pack sizes, this
is just one of those sizes.
