LOVE OUTSIDE THE BOX
I believe whatever entity created us…created us out of love
and meant for that same love to to be our destiny…our fate.
because I can’t find it in my heart to believe a loving creator
would be so cruel as to place us upon this Earth to hate.
I believe we all have the capacity to love…it’s with us from the moment of our birth…
like how we appreciate and love all the beauty our creators placed upon this Earth.
The animals, the mountains, the rivers…the valleys, the flowers, the trees,
the sunrises, sunsets, rainbows, the butterflies, the bees.
We love the Earth and all her wonders so much…we even call her Mother…
but our problems lie when we refuse to expand our love…out to one another.
Many of us have created a space for the people we love …a safe and comfortable little box.
The dilemma occurs when we refuse to let our love grow outside of our box.
We are not meant to box our love away…not meant to put up walls around us.
Our box should be the entire world and all the people who surround us.
Love is meant to flow freely everywhere…that is the way our creators designed it
It is only humans who are confused…and try hard to confine it.
If love is meant to flow throughout the world…then our actions need to be corrected
it’s up to us as humans to tear down these walls of hate we have so arbitrarily erected..
It won’t be easy as these walls we’ve built are strong and meant to keep us all apart.
and because it takes generosity, mercy, love, understanding and time to change a bitter heart.
But it can be done…it must be done…if a kinder, gentler, more loving world we want see
If we ever want to become the people…our creators hoped for us to be.
No matter how long it takes…we must tear down these walls of hate…
but….when I think of the new world we can build…
it will be worth he wait.
