Growing is knowing love, is growing in you.

All growth is only a growth of itself, from itself.
Nothing grows outside of itself, even a little.
But then all growth, always affects all else.
What is God's answer, to settle this riddle?

Forming growth is forming a mould, or so I'm told.
To get hold of love, and allow it to fill you, and accrue.
Your mould grows bolder, and holds more love.

Grow love, to unfold love, love renews you, through.

Love grows more, as more is held, and swelled.
Held, and swelled in the growing soul's heart.
Love expands by not expanding, at all overall.
Love grows by growing more in each individual, called.

Love must be at first held, to create its first growth.
Love must then be released to spurt past the last part.
Past being held tight, bit by bit, to departing its first start.
Now fully grown, humbled as God's heart grows, in you.

Growth is never about expansion of what is, or talk thereof.
Growth is just an expanding into what is his, God's love.
Seeing more is growing more. A new frontier, it's clear.
Reaching the end of retreating from fear, growth will appear.

Truth is never home-grown, except from God's love.
Love holds all truth in itself as only small seeds.
God allows watering of soul to occur, in its deeds.
Replenishing love, allowing humbleness of growth, from above.

Yes, growing is knowing truth through loving God.
Loving allows room for growth to occur, and remain.
Love never ends from growing from itself, how odd.
A wealth of love, finds a death of growth, past pain.

Until growth becomes wisdom, and wisdom grows wings.
Growth now sings of love growing inside its own truth.
Growth then is no more than itself growing.
Aware of itself not really growing at all, but knowing.
