Feeling thoughtful...

I try to sit in silence, 

a little each day,

to hear your voice, and to be honest with my heart,

about who I am,

and what I want, 

and to find out, what more I can do, to serve.

The encouragement you give,

drives me on, 

Yet I am so fallen,

you freely give me love, and praise.

It is selfless love I seek to give,

It is so easy to give conditional love,

Which may not, in that case,

Be love at all.

But only something which gives,

And waits,

And hopes,

And hears,

And gives some more,

Can really be,

Love.
