Agape: An Unconditional Love

she looks beyond circumstance
straight into your eyes
a love that lasts and lavishes

oh what love is this?
that would give its life
and linger here with me?

oh what love is this?
that transcends affection
translates into action
because of it
I am free
so I give it away freely
a love like no other
how can it be?
beyond brotherly affection
lasting longer than fleeting kisses
betrayed with a kiss kind of love
translated into every language
agape, a love to put your life in
a forever feast of abundance
falling deeper in love daily
with the maker of life itself

looking us straight in the eye
reminding us today
to become love
to be love
to love
