Love kept at a distance.

Love draws persistently toward each other.

Pulling us closer like sister, and brother

.

Sometimes it is pushed away very hard.

Trying to keep others out of their backyard.

Some people love others, though they may not like them.

Not spending time to know them is where this does stem.

Maybe not willing to see past their peculiar ways.

Seldom knowing that learning about one's fellows pays.

Why do we keep love away when it is so near?

It is because we don’t know, and a friendship we fear.

And so, we pity them, but we feel this resistance.

Maybe that’s why love is kept at a distance.

Sometimes we see them in sorrows deep hole.

So, we love them at the end of a ten-foot pole.

Some people fling love from inside their fence.

Or from overhead, like it is a form of defense.

Not getting close enough for other's sorrows to see.

Giving help from a distance gives some people glee.

Those getting love from a distance often do know.

They aren’t worth getting close enough to show.

God is very far. But maintains close lines of communication.

If we love and listen, there is given great helpful information.

Infinite love the Father gives so hard.

Yes, he wants us in his backyard.

Christ loves us too. This surely you must know.

If you open your eyes, this obvious truth will show.

Keeping your love at a distance is holding back some amount.

To give love universally, you should seek to be paramount.

Love given at a distance, is difficult to hit its mark.

The recipient may be waiting in darkness that’s stark.

Loneliness may persist because the gift didn’t get received.

The distance was great. In isolation, the sorrow wasn’t relieved.

Left out in the cold because love was not near.

The message was diluted, and the words smear.

The gravity of love doesn’t dissipate with distance.

But what could be the reason for all this resistance?

Far, far away, let always, our separation not be.

Get close, and the true person you will see.

See not just of the flesh. But see the soul within.

And the path to better people and world will begin.
