The word agape can be defined as the unconditional love of God or Christ for humankind. This was the first word that came to mind once I read the poem. It reminded me of going to church on Sundays; I go faithfully and wonder sometimes why God did for not only me but everyone here on earth. If that is not agape love‚ I don’t know what is!
