************

Most have heard of and experienced,
EROS…erotic love;
If we have lived but a handful,
A handful of years.

Although it was wonderful,
Still…it was never enough;
To squelch that deep yearning,
Nor, get us through the times that were tough.

From early childhood…we've had friends,
And, on rare occasion;
PHILEO…brotherly love,
When…heart-to-heart…we've spoken.

This friendship…ever-deepening,
When tested and proven;
Withstanding the test of time,
A kinship…still, that trust can be broken.

Oh…how many can say,
That in their heart-of-hearts;
They've known AGAPE…the Love of God,
Unconditional Love…that shall never depart?

The kind of Love that's always accepting,
Never putting-down;
Always encouraging…lifting-up,
Do you think it not possible…and you frown?

Yes, it is true…so very true,
None can Love…like our God;
Still, even this AGAPE Love,
He chooses to share…to spread abroad.

But, first we must receive it,
Before we can give it away;
Accept AGAPE Love…in your heart,
Then, give it out…TODAY!
