Unending Love

I am loved by an unending love.
I am embraced by arms that find me
Even when I am hidden from myself.
I am touched by fingers that soothe me
Even when I am too proud for soothing.
I am counseled by voices that guide me
Even when I am too embittered to hear.
I am loved by an unending love.

I am supported by hands that uplift me
Even in the midst of a fall.
I am urged on by eyes that meet me
Even when I am too weak for meeting.
I am loved by an unending love.

Embraced, touched, soothed, counseled;
may mine too be the arms and fingers,
the voice and the hands,
the eyes and the smile
that compels another to say:
“I am loved by an unending love.”
