Let love

Let love

(For us)

     By Cath Rathbone

Focus not

On what she’s lost

But love

What she has left.

Look not

At how her clothes

Are stained

But that she still can eat.

Step down

And look her in the eye

Connect with

What’s inside;

Less judging

Of what used to be

Will open

Up your heart.

Love’s patient, kind and healing,

Love softens and outlives;

Lean into Love, release your fear

Let Love acceptance be.

Accept her

Light is going out,

Accept she’s

Going back;

Accept that

She is different now

And ne’er

The same shall be.

Relax and

Put your stuff away;

Your rules,

Your phone, your life.

Sit quiet

And let her set the pace

Enjoy her

For her while.

Love’s patient, kind and healing,

Love softens and outlives;

Lean into Love, release your fear

Let Love acceptance be.

Love her

Who precious gift gave you,

The life

Which you now have;

Love her

Who loved you hour by hour,

None which

You can recall.

Love her

with all your heart and strength

Love for

The both of you;

Love her

With everything you have

She's waiting

In that place.

Lean into Love, release your fear

Lean into Love right now.

Lean in Love and cherish her

Let Love acceptance be.
