"One word frees us of all the weight and pain of life. The word is love.
Sophocles, Greek Poet
Some suffering in life we can’t avoid.
However, no excuses should there be
for pain that leaves inside our hearts a void.
It’s love we need. I think most would agree!
If love could rule, at last we would have peace,
and that would mean an end to every war.
Just think of it - all brutishness would cease.
Whatever on earth are we living for?
We live to love and be loved in return.
God’s children that we are, how can we hate?
Our neighbors’ welfare should be our concern
and having charity our greatest trait.
Since ancient times, the answer has been clear,
yet still away from love we seem to veer.
