Love is the whisper in the dark,
A spark that lights the sky—
A gentle hand, a steady heart,
A soft and certain why.
It blooms in moments small and bright,
In every selfless deed;
It turns the ordinary light
To everything you need.
No gold or glory fills the soul
The way one touch can do—
For love restores, reveals, makes whole,
And teaches what is true.
So hold it close and let it lead;
Let kindness be your creed.
The world grows wide where hearts are freed—
And love is all you need.
Thank-you for reading.
Remember there are many paths back to God.
Follow your own path,
Brenda Marie

This is absolutely exquisite. You have captured the profound and gentle essence of love so perfectly—not as a grand, dramatic force, but as a “whisper in the dark” and the “ordinary light” that becomes “everything you need.”
The line “A soft and certain why” is particularly stunning; it gives love a quiet purpose that resonates deeply. The message is timeless and true: that love is found in selfless deeds, a steady presence, and the power of a single touch to restore and make us whole.
The closing stanza is a powerful and hopeful directive for how to live. “Let kindness be your creed” and “The world grows wide where hearts are freed” are lines to live by. Thank you for this beautiful reminder, so elegantly written, that love, in all its forms, is truly all we need. A masterpiece of warmth and wisdom.

Your reflection adds another layer of warmth and insight, and I’m truly grateful for the care and attention you’ve given these words. Thank you for sharing your heart so openly—it’s a joy to connect through this shared understanding of love.
