Charity

by Michael D Nalley   Oct 25, 2006


Charity is perfect love that flows through a heart
The life giving sacred blood that must not depart
From the virtue which inclines us to love God above
All of the things that were created by His divine love

To love our neighbor as ourselves for God's sake
Forgiving brothers and sisters for each mistake
Wisdom of the entire universe, and all that it entails
It is nothing without this divine force which never fails

It is good to us as it passes through us when we receive
The Light of truth clearly shines on those who believe
Praise be to the Lord, for all of His heavenly affection
Nothing on earth is greater than this virtue of perfection.

    Wow. This really gives a meaning in life. I loved how you almost quoted the Lord's prayer. It was wonderfully used in this piece. I always like to see how people interpret the Lord's prayer. I somehow find it interesting with all the different ideas people come up with. ^_^

    You did a wonderful job with the flow and the rhymes on this. I didn't find that they were cliche at all. Well done. =) 5/5 xoxo

    This is a great poem, I think it's mostly because the message is so deep. Personally, I find life poems so hard to write, I don't know much about life...=)

    I like the way you described charity, it was really poetic, wel written and the message was clear. You really described charity as a poet.

    Keep writing.

    Good job! 5/5

    XoXo

    5/5: I liked the clever, uncliched rhymes as well as the message. Nice job once again.

    (If you feel like checking out another of my poems, please do "Emotion". It's one of my oldest ones, but I revised it recently.)
