Spring forth

Gloria Clements

Undo the burdens, untie the knots—
The "have nots" the "yes-buts" the "I can't" the "gots."
From everything mortal now be reborn.
Drop the stiff finger of critical scorn.
Let graciousness motivate thought, word, and deed—
There's infinite grace to meet all our need!
Love is the loosener, Love frees, Love lifts,
Love, the renewer, impartial with gifts!
