Contagious Love Poem by Gary James Smith

CONTAGIOUS LOVE





You've raised the bar on aging


With your infectious smile


Mother, your love is contagious


You've gone the extra mile.





In each of your discomforts


There's hardly ever a fuss


Your way of doing business therewith


Is such an appreciative touch.





The fender bender mishaps


Or should I say the floor


Have not broken your spirit


You still bounce back for more.





Your humor is not hidden


But lies in wait for a chance


To utter those funny sayings


That suit each circumstance.





Once again that smile


With twinkle in your eye


Beams forth satisfaction with


Giving a courteous reply.





Your beauty is astounding


For it's both without, within


Your spirit is victorious


For you trust alone in Him.





In Him I say Who raised the dead


In Him who gives old age


And then in glory 'Eternal life'


May Jesus Christ be praised.





All glory to that Father, Son


The Spirit who live above


Who bless our hearts with demonstrations


Of His Contagious Love!
