This poem, I dedicate to every person who has ever died because of jealousy, hate, unreasoning rage, or war; from Abel to the latest homicide or terror victim to the defenders of our lives. This poem, I also dedicate to every person who attempts to love in spite of all the unfairness of our world; from the lover cuddling the beloved to the missionary ministering in a hostile land to the parent kissing a child.
Prayer For Love
Hearts open,
Minds aware,
Spirits real,
Souls afire,
We cry for love.
Love reaches
Out to us,
Whoever we are,
Love makes
No distinctions.
We are offspring
Of love’s existence,
From the dawn
Of humanity
Until this day.
Love is our
Birthright,
Our destiny,
In love we are
And shall remain.
We crave freedom,
Respect, trust,
Honesty, family,
Friends, each life matters,
All products of love.
Love is thankful,
Kind, understanding,
Generous, helpful,
Forgiving, treasures life,
Love is a gift.
We create futures
Built around the gift
Of love which makes
Every one of us special,
Lives devoted to love.
Above all is love
The only solution
To our souls’ desolation,
Dare I say it, yes,
I believe, God is LOVE!
Hearts open,
Minds aware,
Spirits real,
Souls afire,
We cry for love.
