Love is such a small word that rolls off our tongues
Do we ever consider its true deeper meaning?
It floats out of our mouths as we turn to go
Love you - we say as we are halfway out the door
We tag it on to material objects, like our favourite mug, pen or socks
But do we ever consider the love gifted to us from above?
An invisible, all encompassing love that comes with no hidden strings attached
What was God’s expectation of us in return for his love?
Maybe He seeks our obedience
Laid out within the Ten Commandments
If we can follow and abide by these ten simple rules
Would our lives be fuller, richer
Would we consider our fellow human beings more?
Surely it is the greatest blessing that can be bestowed upon us
Love and obedience - God coupled them together - hand in hand
The depth of love is more than words that trip off the tongue
