Let Us Love

Let Us Love

by Latorial Faison

We came into this world

dreaming of love.

We grew up fantasizing

emphasizing, categorizing love.

Love is that which has awakened us,

that which has overtaken us.

It is what we have prayed

to God for.

Love is a glorious gift

of the spirit.

Love is a sweet, assuring voice

even when we cannot hear it.

Love is faith, and faith is love,

often unseen, always rising above.

Love brings us

to a unified place.

Love waltzes into chaos,

becomes a saving grace.

Never letting go of the promise,

let us hold fast to love.

Greeting uncertainties of tomorrow

let us hold fast to love.

Let us know who holds it,

believe who controls it.

Let love shape us

day by day.

Let love teach us

the importance of our stay.

This love, ordained for two,

this love betrothing me to you.

Let us love to and from

a sacred place.

Let us be disciples of love

when love cannot be traced.

If doors appear shut

as we walk through life, let us love.

If stars fail to shine

as we stumble through night, let us love.

Let us love forward

when society steps backward.

Let us love more

when laughter occurs less.

Let us love faithfully and deeply.

Let our love be truth boldly confessed.

Let us love in every triumph and trial,

summon love for each test.

If love be our guide,

ours shall be a love blessed.
