Keys

keys to love

There are keys to loving well.
I found them tucked inside my heart.
There is life in loving, too.
In truth, there’s no room for regret.

I found these truths in my own heart.
Love in all these broken pieces,
leaves no room for sad regret.
My heart’s not untouched by grief.

There’s so much love in brokenness,
in accepting pain and loss.
Any heart untouched by grief,
cannot know full joy in love.

I’ll not numb the pain of loss.
These are keys to loving well.
I will know the joy of love,
find more life, in loving more.
