Verse 1
********

You know it is true
(that I love you);
different times and places
and who knows
the ramifications
that could endure?

Verse 2
********

Forever is a long time,
Father in understanding
His wisdom to know all;
put us here
at the same time,
with different
yet similar missions.

Verse 3
********

He has also has
kept us a part
of each other;
yet separate
for our obedience
is the test of Mercy.

Verse 4
********

We need have love
for those who need
and not in selfishness
deny this eternal truth.

Verse 5
********

Love is the greatest
leap of faith
into the unknown
we can ever take.*

Verse 6
********

Thus we leap to others
their burdens and cares
to share and lighten
in some special way,
while always
we can in honesty
say, "I love you."

Verse 7
********

For in man's dominion
this is not known to be;
yet Father has commanded
us to love all unconditionally.

Verse 8
********

So go forth today
my sister, my brother
and know with truth,
"I love you!"
