The theme for my Haiku this Friday is loving those who may seem difficult to love, and helping those who may seem easy to ignore:
Easy to forget
One of the greatest commands:
Love others as self. (based on Romans 13:9)
God says we OWE LOVE, (based on Romans 13:8)
MUST give it, to our neighbor
(And not just pretend.)
Love the afflicted
Like the Good Samaritan:
Love shown by his deeds. (Luke 10:25-37)
He saw one helpless,
Hurt, ugly, ethnic en’my:
Helped him tenderly.
In humility,
Realize the way things are.
May God help us LOVE.
“The Good Samaritan” by George Frederic Watts, 1904

Beautiful. Makes me feel even worse about my Haiku and the experience surrounding it.
Thank you for your comments, Melissa and Toni.
I appreciated your honest Haiku, Toni. You learned something, and ended up with lots to think about.
Fantastic haikus! Thanks for the reminder to love.
Oh, Joyce, those are printable and placeable! We should always be reminded.
