Poetry
First Love
I betray my Lord not with a kiss
but rather the creeping apathy of a cold heart
like dying embers in night's long march
or the actor who forgets his part
I've left my First Love's tender embrace
fading memories of what "once was"
Passion departs as a bird on the wing
and the form of the bird is a dove
Blessed assurance is now abated
stolen away by unseen fingers
Taken for granted as all seemed well
the fire's warmth no longer lingers
There's a long silence after the sigh
a realization of what's been lost
While there is breath still there is hope
to return to the foot of the Cross
Prodigal hearts mired in earthly cares
seek rescue in the Father's embrace
Our First Love beckons us homeward...
with whole heart we must seek His face!
