What is the Meaning of Agape?


About the Author            Home            What's it all about? 



One day I saw a giant grape
That made my mouth open agape
My jaw dropped down so far it touched the ground,
Seriously man this fruit
Was bigger than my red gumboot!
The biggest of its kind to have been found!

And there I stood in wonderment
But also in predicament
My mouth was still agape by the surprise,
Do I gulp it down for tea
Or keep it for posterity
So others could feast on it with their eyes?

I asked myself, “How much do you
Care about the others who
Might enjoy the prospect of this fruit?”
Do I love my family
So much that I’d say no to me,
And share with them this tastelicious loot?

Did I love them agape?
The love that sounds like “a-gar-pay”
The kind of love that’s unconditional?
Did I love them so much so
That I was willing to forgo
This grape of mine so unconventional?

No it turns out I did not
For as I pondered there I got
So hungry that in fact I could not wait
For by the time I’d thought it through
Deciding upon what to do
The grape within my stomach met its fate!
