Be good to me

We live in a world
where jaded men and women on the brink of relationships
feel compelled to plead of each other
"Please, be good to me."

We live in a world
where goodness is not forthcoming
it has to be solicited

The Love You've Given

Dear Friend

For you I pray
the next man you encounter

GIVES

freely, generously, selflessly

oh, what joy!
to know that you are on the receiving end
of the Love you've given
have always given
are incapable of not giving

I know it will be warm
so familiar
yet like nothing you've ever experienced before

an arrival
yet, still, only a beginning
