Charity

Charity is love, love is charity,
When the heart is confused
and pains dwell all over the body,
Love poured oil to quench the fire and soothes the heart,
Exposing the silhouette of sorrow and pain,
Love creates a landing spot for jumpers,
Hope for the indigent and faith in tomorrow,
Love sees the future as a fruitful vine,
where peace and tranquility reign supreme,
Love creates a strong bond between two and three,
Wades off enemies and invites friends,
makes empty bowels to be full and diseases to be cured,
makes death common, fearless and of little value,
Love is charity, Are you charitable?
