Ask the impossible

How easy it is to love another when it's love that makes us care
But it almost asks the impossible when it's not love that we share

How easy it is to be tolerant with someone who is of a like mind
But it almost asks the impossible when views are of a different kind

How easy it is to be understanding when we can relate to what someone must do
But it almost asks the impossible when really we haven't a clue

There is no miracle here, to love those who love you
No difficulty that arises, no hard tasks for you to do

But to love those who despise you is the way that Jesus dictates
Putting aside feelings of conflict, casting away those petty little hates

This is the hardest lesson that He gives us
What a challenge, what a mountain to climb

Nothing is impossible with our Holy Brother
Jesus of Nazareth ... our partner in time
