From My Heart
Louise Gibson
Open your front door –
Just stand there and listen.
Do you hear it?
Believe me, it is there!
This time, close your door –
Turn off the television.
Listen to the sounds in your own home.
Hear it? Sure you do — It’s everywhere!
To be certain, listen to your own heart.
You hear that?
It’s unmistakable –
It’s coming through loud and clear.
“I want to be loved!”
But wait, there’s more!
“And I want to love!”
There’s no need so dear.
The world cries out for love that heals,
unites and inspires.
To love and be loved
is a basic need that every soul desires.
This is no news to God.
He created us for love.
Our love for God and our neighbor
fulfills the law of God above.
Footnote:
“Love is like the 5 loaves and 2 fishes.
It doesn’t start to multiply
until you give it away.”

I love this poem! Your footnote is such a great reminder as well!
