How to love
the “unlovelies”
those whom
we find
too repulsive to love
Sometimes I meet
people I think
I could never love
or become so angry with someone
I can offer them
not one kind word.
Then I whisper
“God, please love
this person for me
until I am able
to open my heart
enough to see
what You see that
makes You love
them all the time.
