Love fills him
Overflows
A river
A gentle flood
Of love
Washes over me
Over all of us
Fills us
Intoxicant

His smile
Radiant
A broadcast ecstacy
Writ across his face
An unfathomable beauty
Of being
Filled with love

I remember
Being filled like that
Being love
Being grateful
For every moment
In every moment

I remember
Being flawed
Knew I was flawed
Still, I was full with love

I remember
Being in pain
Debilitated by suffering
Still, I was full with love

I forgave the flaws of others
Because love forgave my own
While I worked to repair them

I empathized with the pain of others
Because love allowed me to feel my own
While I followed a healing path

So I thank him
Up on the stage
This beaming intensity
Of beautiful light
As I sing the refrains
As I sway
To the rhythms of the music
To the flow of his love
To this man
This beautiful man

Who is not without faults
Who is not without pain
Yet is filled to overflowing
With love

I thank him
For the reminder
That I can be filled with love
That I can be love
Without first making myself
Perfect

Because I have been
Before

Because in this moment
I am again
