Better To Have Lost

As Jesus steps onto the earth
Into the frost, above the dirt 
Where he first walked
As all else lay to rest
Once again to proclaim his test
Turned his pain into passion
To be heard
As spoken first sacred words:
"Tis better to have lost than to
have been loved, when what hit
me twice as hard, hurt them 
twice as much"
Lessons lived must be earned
Taught to forgive as the world turned
If it began with "LET THERE BE LIGHT"
Then it shall end....
WHEN WE LOSE SIGHT!

Better to have lost the love than not to have tried the love. Better to find it in your life. Better not to fear love because to fear love is to fear life.
