Love Is Stronger

Do not be fooled into thinking there is more hate than love in the world
when you see other people’s prejudices, derision and scorn…
Remember, 'I love you' are the first words spoken when a baby has been born.

If you listen to people who just happen by…from every country…every state…
you will hear more words of love between them than you hear words of hate. 

We sign our greeting cards ‘with love’…our notes and letters too…
It is love’s inspiration that allows us to say, “I do”.

We fall into love…when we least expect it…and though this thought I can’t substantiate…Is there a person anywhere…who’s ever  fallen into hate?

Think about it…How many times a day do you say 'I love you' 
and why do you surmise...
are 'I love you' are the last words ever uttered before a person dies?

The last words we remember…the last words on the mind
of the person who is dying…as well as those they leave behind 

Yes, do not be fooled into thinking in today’s world hate is stronger… 
Hate is only louder but it is weaker….
and in the long run love is stronger
