My Love is Given Me

My love is like a rose;
...a rose.

I've been given who I am;
...I am!

Yet no one asks, who knows;
...who knows?

What's with the spotless lamb;
...Spotless Lamb!

Right With God

At the end of another Al-Anon meeting, we would all stand in a circle, hold hands, close our eyes, bow our heads, and clearly articulate The Lord's Prayer, King James version.  It was a good meeting. I cried at one point because I heard my story. Someone knew my pain. Emotional and spiritual were closely linked experiences, in my mind. Capped off with our usual ending, I used to think that's what made me right with God.
