Just Something I Believe

You might call me a dreamer…a romantic…you probably think I am naïve
But that there is more love than hate in the world is something I believe.

When asked how she creates a love song…the musician quickly replied,?“I close my eyes…I think about love and the notes awaken from inside.”

When asked how he pens a love story…the author is quick to impart,
“I close my eyes…I think about love and find the words within my heart.

When asked how she paints so beautifully…the artist smiled then quickly blushed…“I close my eyes…I think about love and it’s love that guides my brush.”

When asked how he creates such magnificent figures…the sculptor answers, “As far as I am able to understand…I close my eyes…I think about love…and love, then, guides my hands.”

A poet is no different…we close our eyes…we think about how love is everywhere…and when we open our eyes the words appear…as if they were waiting for us there.

I believe there is more love than hate in this world…
as many people through the years have shown…
Yes, I believe there is more love than hate
and I believe…I’m not alone.
