Motivating Force

Dear friends Jen and Dan Grady with their baby girl Iona.

Motivating Force
6/11/11

Love is energy
filling indomitable parent
rising bone tired
caring for children,
it catalyzes dreams
of new couple
giving them wings
powered to fly,
arrives as passion
in artists, musicians,
all who create
from inner fire
bringing them joy
plus others witnessing,
often it's confused
as sentimental patriotism
that condones killing
for security reasons
delivering the opposite,
there's nothing stronger,
more omnipotent, flexible,
able to transform
dysfunctional human foibles
into healthy balance
as Godsent gift
bequeathing motivating force.
