For One Another

Wallace Dean LaBenne

Fervor is an assumption until you taste a kiss
Fervor for one another
is an amorous bliss

Kindness is a conception until you give it birth
Kindness for one another
is a maternal worth

Support is an impression until you lend a hand
Support for one another
is an indulgent stand

Kinship is a construction until you have a friend
Kinship for one another
is a familial blend

Nurture is a suggestion until you make it real
Nurture for one another
is a nutritious meal

Respect is an abstraction until you bring it home
Respect for one another
is a symphonic poem
