250308 Show Love

 Show Love

To say, " I love you," is very nice
Yet, say those words yet not think twice
If you want them to really know 
It's in your actions it will show

For loving someone's more than words
To think otherwise is just absurd 
If don't behave in loving way 
It matters not what words you say

Yes, words can be so insincere
But actions speak out loud and clear
Don't have to put on big displays 
Love can be shown in subtle ways 

A wink of eye, a tender smile
Just sitting nearby for a while 
A gentle touch, a listening ear
All signs that you hold someone dear

So, if you're truly loving kind
It won't just stay within your mind
For it will search for place to go
To plant itself and then to grow

So, as you start another day
Decide how you'll give love away
Of course, it happens naturally 
For today, do it intentionally 

Pick up the phone and call a friend 
To say that you're thinking of them 
Give loved ones hugs, strangers a smile
You'll find it very worth your while

Search out a need and render aid
Share oatmeal cookies that you've made
Listen to others, not just hear
These things show love that is sincere

Show others they are worth your time
Make conscious effort to be kind
Let no harshness be in your voice
Instead,  let sweetness be your choice

So, as you show love here and there 
Know God is watching and aware
Christ says what's done for least of these
Is truly what you do for me
