Love Is Enough

Love is my weapon when conquering hurt
An invisible energy released automatically
When someone says something to stir up the dirt.

The dirt seems all settled like on top of a grave
Then one word or one sentence is heard the wrong way.
A button gets pushed, something physical happens
And the next thing you know, a defensive reaction.

It took lots of training and prayers then some proof
But I learned about Love and all It could do
It forgives and forgets and heals all wounds incurred
When i simply remind me of that one little word.

Love is all inclusive, unconditional too
It comes straight from the heart, doesn't care what you do
It can't be affected by opinions and such
For it knows what is truth and that is enough.

If you can't forgive the one you love, you won't love 'em for long. Opps! That's my idea! You can't have it! lol Looks like I just came up with my first contest; inspired by your poem! I connected with Love is Enough readily and then read it a few more time to savor the fluid craftmanship you instilled in writting it. Enjoyed it and appreciate the sentiment very much. Check you Soup Mail... <><
