Loving children

After Ephesians 5:1-20

Children are loved,

and children imitate.

Being loved is walking

in love, with a holy love,

a fierce love,

the same love given

to us, the love

of faithfulness even

to death, a love

which amazes,

which terrifies,

and we ask how,

how are we loved,

how are we to love?
