Henry Lapp- Two Poems

 

Love is Strange

Love is Strange

Here and gone in a day

Human love is imperfect

But I'm all for it

Not for lust but for love

Which God gave us all

If we love God more than ourselves

We would love more of anyone else

I pray you will one day feel

The power of God as you heal

And forget the love lost, the broken heart

And find a love the won't part

Life is What You Make It

All you can do is your best

No more, no less

Life is what you make it

Please don't forsake it

We are only here for a little while

Then God dials

Us up and takes us away

Because we weren't meant to stay

Pickup your craft and do it well

Love each other as if under a spell

Our moments are too short for hate

Please don't make your life a waste

We all do each other wrong

But that's part of the song

Without pain we know no joy

Life is not a toy!

Our time draws ever closer

God is the great composer

Cherish every bit

Life is what you make it
