Life Without Love

Life Without Love? There's no life without love though no God may exist For life had to evolve toward the assets stars gave And must love what sustains it to hope to survive. Some suggest love's less feeling, more choice that gets made As life flees a tsunami or volcano's ash Though in times of quiescence, such terrors can serve To debunk deep-sea monsters, to fertilize fields For new crops! The most ancient star's death Served to mother the sea, land, and air, we assume! Where the lame give no credit, I credit God's Love! As one born to hard labor, do hands curse the glove Or the tool that protects them from blisters; the tomb That gives peace (may it be so) upon our last breath? Do I argue with Science expanding crop's yields, While reducing my effort, when vaccines preserve Life not strictly my own? Let my ego's teeth gnash When I honor truth's leading, that isn't displayed Like a beautiful garment, its colors contrive To reveal faith's my answer, that no one's a slave To the Father of Christ, Grace and Love coexist!
