God loves us for the sake of others.
We're not worth it, but their pain would be.
They can't see the worst that we are.
They love us in stupid simplicity.
But God, Who is Love, is not blind,
and knows. God sees we are not worth love,
but they do. They see us better than we,
or God ever can - not seeing the worst.
They love us because they are true,
and as if God must love us, and does.
And God, touched only by simple things,
loves us on faith and in trust to them,
expressly for all the joy it brings.
