The Greatest Love of All

I could take you to the square on the sidewalk

where I first had a kind thought, about myself

I like spending time with me

How can it be that a kid who sang Jesus Loves Me on repeat

and love, love, love that’s what it’s all about, 

God loves us, we love each other; mother, father, sister, brother, 

Never learn to love himself?

I’ve had a thousand religious experiences

maybe a million, but this was spiritual

that sidewalk square was holy ground

My first communion, with myself

I shared the peace, with me

I was transfigured, born again, free

I found the greatest love of all

-Whitney 3:16.
