Love is reaching out

Giving

Sharing

And caring

Love is reaching out

Affirming

Acclaiming

Admiring

The many faces of God

And colours of the rainbow

Across the horizon

Love is reaching out

And touching

The lilies and brambles

And the roses and thistles

On each human head

Loving is reaching out

A friend

For the lonely,

A soothing balm

For the hurting

And comfort

For the mourning

Love is reaching out

For the only gifts

We ever keep

Are those

We give away.
