What does it truly mean to be in Love?
It must mean more than merely hearts and flowers,
more than a feeling that can bloom or fade.
It must be real, not protracted hours
of wondering, of hope, a masquerade.
To be
in Love
is to be in the place
where nothing can alarm, reverse, efface
the Father-Mother’s ever-present care,
shepherding and guiding everywhere.
Secure, protected, pure, and free,
in Love that treasures every day,
in Love that washes sins away.
Held safely in Love’s arms, a cherished lamb.
In Love
is where I always am.
—Clark Beim-Esche
