Who knows now
how many will read
this and find a self
which has value;
what they are so
desperately searching
for deep within.

Verse 1 ******** Why does this word relate or equate to punishment?	Verse 2 ******** Do we not know or understand that we are commanded to forgive one another?
Verse 3 ******* We are not judges (as least most); we are brothers and sisters eternally linked.	Verse 4 ******** Thus to seek punishment as the form of forgiveness is not of the Gospel of our Lord and Savior; even Jesus the Christ.

So please accept
this gift divinely
presented in 1COR13;
open your hearts
to those who stand
in need of succor,
including oneself.

Verse 1 ******** We will be there for them... but what about others... because their maze is as tortuous and dark as any...	Verse 2 ******** We feel the pain and the anguish like it were our own... let us listen... let us comfort.
Verse 3 ******* (The givers must learn to receive too in order to be whole.)	Verse 4 ******** Thus we must always seek within ourselves to see not just the visual world; but to break through the illusion of darkness of evil.

For in the distance
of this illusion
we have others
who need us now.

Verse 1 ******** Oh my Father, we are traveling through a maze but I am looking up now.	Verse 2 ******** We can see light. Thank you for these tears upon the cheeks that water the ground upon which we stand.
Verse 3 ******** To be thy children with special gifts and talents to share; what more could we ask but to be.	Verse 4 ******** Thus Your daughters and sons forever; in thy service of forever.

Knowing the maze
(the darkness of illusion)
is not the refiners fire
and we are not
(unless we chose to be)
ever left alone.
