You Could Be...

I'm ba-ack! Did you miss me? I've missed you. It's been 3 weeks since my last post. There's been lots going on, but to be honest, I've mostly been distracted and unfocused. 12 half-written drafts are patiently waiting to be finished. I've been doing a bit of other writing, and it's just a smorgasbord life right now. No main entree or focus, just a smattering of this and that.

Then I found an amazing poem my son scrawled last night. At least someone in the Panzica household is writing!

You could be the smartest

and cure cancer with your brain.

You could be the fastest

and stay dry in the midst of rain.

You could be the nicest

and wholly act in utmost care.

You could be the strongest

even without Samson hair.

You could be a prophet

and relay the words of God.

You could be most righteous

and move mountains near and far.

You could be the richest

able to purchase anything,

but all these greats

without God's love

make a a great nothing.

If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but have not love, I am only a resounding gong or a clanging cymbal. If I have the gift of prophecy and can fathom all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have a faith that can move mountains, but have not love, I am nothing. If I give all I possess to the poor and surrender my body to the flames, but have not love, I gain nothing. ... Love never fails.
