Just Love

Just Love (9/10/17)
What opens minds and heals hearts bent on destruction?
Just, Love.
What soothes the soul and keeps the fires burning bright?
Just, Love.
What gives you peace and keeps you warm at night?
Just, Love.
What will make you go to the ends of the earth and drive you to your wits end?
Just, Love.
What will push you so far away, yet bring you home again?
Just, Love.
When your days are short and the nights are long…
Just love.
When you need a place where you belong…
Just love.
When passion fades and anger soars…
Just love.
When your hopes are scattered on the floor…
Just love.
When care is too much and the costs too high…
Just love.
When the fire is waning and the embers start to die…
Just love.
When life is no longer a blissful game…
Just  love.
When you want to hang your head in shame…
Just love.
What’s the most powerful force in all creation?
Just, love
What brings sheer devastation and unbridled elation?
Just, love.
What is the most basic need and the greatest gift from Heaven above?
Just, love.
