Calvary Love

If I myself dominate myself,
if my thoughts revolve around myself,
if I am so occupied with myself I rarely have "a heart at leisure from itself,"
then I know nothing of Calvary love.

If I say, "Yes, I forgive, but I cannot forget,"
as though the God,
who twice a day washes all the sands on all the shores of all the world,
could not wash such memories from my mind,
then I know nothing of Calvary love.
