A Plea For Compassion

.

                         love
                       cannot
                   be destroyed
                they'll never know
                        truth




*For John Freeman’s “They Know Not What They Did” interpretation

Congratulations on your first place in this inspiring contest, Carolyn. Your Lanterne makes a remarkable statement. Those who don't have love, try to destroy it...so they will never know how beautiful and liberating truth is! It's a sincere expression of your endless faith. Enjoy your splendid victory! I hope you had a wonderful Memorial Day with your loved ones. Love and hugs, Andrew.
