Love is the answer

Love is the answer 
It is always the answer 
Even when we forget 
Even when we're confused 

Look around you
Notice where the peace is missing 
Notice where the communication is off
Notice where we live past each other 

What we need is to connect 
What we need is to delete ego
What we need is our humanity 
What we need is grace and humility 

More compassion and honesty 
Kindness and empathy 
Showing up authentically 
Giving a hand where needed

Community rather than isolation 
A smile instead of a frown 
Patience instead of anger 
Truly listening and understanding 

Because we are all connected 
We are all one in spirit 
No matter the perceived differences 
Our atoms are from the same source 

So learn to love yourself 
Learn to love others
Learn to be part of the greater good
For your soul knows love is everything 

Love is the answer 
It is always the answer 
Love is our legacy 
For our souls' eternal salvation
