God Is Love

Give those in this world peace, each with a few friends.
Ordain those that embrace differences within each other.
Deliver the world from the darkness of hate with love.

Insulate us from the darkness that leads to our death.
Spread the seeds of thankfulness, hope and dreams.

Let man remember the gifts, blessings and lessons in life.
Occupy their hearts with a promise of a life with increase.
Victory begins with the purging of envy and selfish ambitions. 
Eternal life begins with trust and loving one another.
