Love Is the Answer

Love is the answer
when life is to blame.
People who mean well
can hurt you just the same.
But why choose to be bitter?
Choose to be kind.
For love is the answer
all of the time.
You can become bitter
and hate everything.
But choose to be happy
no matter what life brings.
For you're closer to Heaven
whenever you smile,
and pick yourself up
and laugh like a child.
A child soon forgets
anger held in his heart,
and that gives him the chance
to have a new start.
