To finish off “Heart Month,” here are a few more thoughts about love, this time from Barbara Johnson in her book “Fresh Elastic for Stretched Out Moms.”
The Shield of Love
When I felt that touch of spring yesterday,
I washed and waxed my car.
When it rained this morning, the droplets on the hood
Stood upright in tiny bubbles,
Unable to penetrate that coat of wax.
When I prayed to God last night,
He must have washed and waxed my soul,
Because today when troubles came
They only stood outside,
Unable to penetrate that shield of His love.
