(160-170) Works Of Love IV
Our Duty To Love Those We See
Limitless Love In Our Time
Our love must be limitless
In a world of limitations
We may want to give up what's fastidious
But we're caught by imitations
The things we love are temporary
We are always buying what is new
Love itself is no longer exemplary
When we purchase love it's through
Delusions are ever augmenting
They come alive and are incremental
In a world of constant, consumer tempting
Can make us forget what's fundamental
Divine love is our fundamentality
The essence of all creation
When the material becomes our totality
We are lost in the commercial dimension
In that love is limitless
For it to fulfill the law
Perfection becomes a barrenness
And something to deplore
What we buy is sold as perfection
And perfection makes for delusion
To love our neighbor is our connection
To divine love in profusion
The divine we know but will never see
Our neighbor we can see and know
We love neighbors and touch eternity
The gracious gift that God bestows
