Let Me Find You In Love

by Joyce


Let me find you in the love of the family that you have given me.
May I be reminded,
That your love lives on through me,
And through them.

Let me be accepting of that interchange and,
Let me be curious rather than cautious and hesitant.
Fill me with gratitude,
So that I may know them and touch them.
Lead and guide me,
So that I may quiet my judgments and criticisms.

Let me recognize my limits.
Learning to pause, for just a moment,
Taking something in.
Allowing myself to be filled,
Without overwhelm.

Coming from that experience,
Let me live in love…
Going forward towards those who I love,
And who love me.
