Love

Love

From birth to death,
There is someone to love,
Mother, wife and child,
Through the years, love is the bond.

All share love,
In different ways,
Some love money and wealth,
Others love life.

Some love the city,
Some love the countryside,
Others love music,
But some love life.

Love is in your heart,
In the way you feel,
And in the way you treat others,
Love is universal.

Give that love to all,
Animal, friend and enemy,
Engulf the world,
In the folds of love.

See all with sight renewed,
Forget colour and race,
And embrace them as one,
In untainted trust and love.

Listen to the inner voice,
Telling you to bear the pain,
Of Man's past crimes,
And love once again.

Cherish your ancestors,
Love your parents and kin,
Help those in need,
Love your family.

For, at the end of time,
They are a part of you,
There will be no others,
Who will take your love.
