The Gilded Cage Of Christ
They love you without question,
as long as you forgive their sins.
They love you without condition,
as long as you bare their burden.
They love you just the way you are,
as long as you come when they call.
They love you when darkness falls,
as long as you light their way; and
They love you always and forever,
as long as you appear as expected.
-Paul Whiting
(a.k.a., Small All White in the Forest)
"I am no barrier to its sun; the light and I are as one!"
"Can you love God unconditionally? That is the big question. All the time you may have thought that the question was, 'Can God love you unconditionally,' but the big question is, 'Can you love God unconditionally.' You can only receive God's love in the way that you give God yours." –Neale Donald Walsch on Facebook
My Poetic Notes:
The reason that I wrote this poem can be summed up with the following statement: "Can you love God unconditionally? That is the big question."
I should mention that this poem was inspired by a quotation from Facebook (please see the quote above), way back when I was actually on Facebook, which I haven't been for years...
And this poem was also published on my "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer" blog (please see the hyperlink below for the blog), since I feel that the message in this poem applies to the message that I am trying to convey through "Paul Whiting — A Creative Writer."
This poem was written in Portland, Oregon.
However, I may be remembering that incorrectly, because this poem may have been written in Salt Lake City, Utah.
