With you it is never more or less

With you it is never "more or less"

We will be your faithful people -

                                   more or less

We will love you with all our hearts -

                                   perhaps

We will love our neighbor as ourselves -

                                   maybe.

We are grateful that with you it is

                                  never "more or less"

                                  "perhaps" or

                                  "maybe."

With you it is never "yes and no,"

                  but always "yes" - clear, direct,

                  unambiguous, trustworthy.

We thank you for your "yes"

                 come flesh among us. Amen
