Love That Will Not Let Me Go
by Jane E PearceOh, love that will not let me go,
emblazoned on my heart
since the toy soldiers vied,
and a Steiff was at my side,
tenacious through storms of disbelief,
sophisticated reasoning,
and cold indifference.
Thomas?
I knew Thomas well,
understood what he was about,
but Thomas learned from his doubt.
Essences spiritual can't be viewed.
A deep, deep faith is imbued,
a peaceful calm I now know-
oh, love that will not let me go.
Title and last line from an old Methodist Hymn 12/13/2004 Posted on 12/14/2004
