Love that is pain, the unspeakable
joy of the heart, a transformation

and here in this world cruel of men,
it is to love that is to suffer;

And so when you love with all your heart
with all your soul,  with all your mind
with all your strength,

so is the suffering sweeter the water
deeper the well, dug into the earth
where walked the prophets;

But we can die a hundred times on the cross,
for there is no love that does not heal, and

blessed is this sky under which
such a thing as love blooms;

Risen, we live, when in suffering we die, loving
such is the gospel of love we contemplate tonight.
an Easter poem - its traditional for me, some of my meaningfully deepest poems are written at this time of the year...

There is a night to reflect on
as there is a day to celebrate it:

The reference is to Mark: 12:28-31, https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Mark+12%3A28-31&version=KJV

it is the aim of my aim

to live happy,get rich and marry

t o get money

that can't be counted

or loaded by strongest

to have children

girls and boys

to be strong, have boys

they will soon grow

become men and stood

beside their father

changing his defense matter

the enemy must be understood

they will speak at low

agree with their talk

and got draw

the great victory the girls

who married rich

and make their father up

getting him his wish

but there is talk

saying health is the aim

to be fit and strong live long without ill

die while you standing on leg

those are  good

the best is the calm

calm at your heart

love everyone

love your enemy

Spreading peace and happy

distributing smile and funny

making faith at your mind

that will happen only

if you obey

your God
happy is important

If you are too lazy to read poems
Just look at the mirror, love
God's gracious poetry
I would say.
