My human love
is never enough.
Other people -
family,
friends -
make demands
and I become
empty,
worn out,
dried up...
Beyond
my present
tight circle
I’ll try
my duty,
but cannot give
my love!
Don’t tell me,
Lord,
my human love
isn’t enough!
I know it well!
But now you say
give up
my human loving
and follow you,
and in you
find wells of loving -
enough for all!
Lord, I come
to follow you
and to be filled
with love!
