Poetry
This is what love looks like:
Love drives you to the ER
and stays with you
as you receive the bad report.
Love helps you work through
the decision of the option
of removing the non-cancerous tumor.
Love lets an introvert
be an introvert in the hospital.
So love encourages you
through texts and emails
and phone calls and even mail.
But Love leaves you books
and art supplies and paper
and a phone charger.
Love even gives you pain-killer pills
so you will cooperate with the nurses.
Love pushes you to inhale
on the breathing machine
until you pass the test
even when it hurts.
Love drives you home from
the hospital and brings
mascara since you haven't
worn makeup all week.
Love buys you groceries
because you can’t drive
and your cupboard is bare.
Love provides clothing that
makes you comfortable while
your big scar heals and itches
and is super sensitive.
Love teaches you what
to eat so you are not in pain.
Love lets you rest for a season
and then says, "Rise up warrior."
Love gives you money
to help you while look for a job.
Love prays for you and gives you
the words of wisdom
encouragement, and direction.
Some words are not so fun.
Love reveals to you the
demons that you need
to get rid of to heal in the long run.
Love provides the surgical
prayers after your surgery.
Yes, love is all that is in
1 Corinthians 13
But love also gives
to practical needs
and emotional needs
and spiritual needs
and financial needs
and physical needs.
Love comes when
each part in
the body of Christ
does their job.
Love even tells you
to be careful how you
cough this time around
because people have been
breaking their ribs with
this virus.
Love sometimes
Answers the question "Why?"
That's what love is
and that’s what love does.
