Womb of pacifist behest...Stokes an inner flame...

SELFLESSNESS


Humble acts of selflessness
Blessings
Not a curse
The more a child within
Practices acceptance
Quite simply


It’s not about me
The Master gives us guidance
In love
“Feed My sheep”
Massive ego
Distant blur this day
Replaced
By raw compassion
Come to grips
With simple love
A holy species thrives
No true earthly shortcuts
“Ye must be born again"
The only path to peace
Womb of pacifist behest
Stokes an inner flame
To serve
Without regret
As Christ so clearly leads
Blind faith
Paramount
Trust
In fertile soil
All glory
His alone
Pointed purpose is to serve
The trip
Unencumbered
Destination crosshairs
Sincere eternal focus
Such a blessed honor
Brilliant grace bestowed
Despite human frailty
