Without Love
Though
I give until I’m empty;
Though
I strive for all I’m worth;
Though
I heal the wounded gently;
Though
I rise and save the earth.
Though
I make a crown of glory;
Though
I win the final race;
Though
I tell the greatest story;
Though
I teach the sinner grace.
Though
I heap a mount of treasures;
Though
I serve and bend the knee;
Though
I find the truest pleasures;
Though
I make no enemy.
Though
many friends gather ‘round me;
Though
my family be whole;
Though
the world would fail without me;
Though
I save the broken soul.
Though
I have the purest virtue;
Though
my hands are free of blood;
Though
I speak only what is true;
Though
I stem the killing flood.
Though
I seek for all that’s lovely;
Though
I gain the greatest height;
Though
I stand as none can move me;
Though
I always do the right.
Though
I believe without waver;
Though
I pray to God above;
Though
I magnify the Savior:
I
am nothing without love.

Rereading this poem made me cry last night because I was just in this mood of longing and wanting to be loved, and the last line hit like a sledgehammer. Amazing job. :) <3
