Love Turns the World Around

Love Turns The World Around Contest
Sponsor: Nayda Ivette Negron 


What is love?

Is it a genuine adoration between two kindred souls?
   Is it a passionate fondness beneath heavens light?
      Is it complete devotion no matter how life flows?
         Or is it just an innate reaction to chemicals from sight?

For most of us life can be full of stressful struggles,
   Everyone’s in a rush without thinking of others feelings,
      We may fall down and feel like drowning in life’s puddles,
         Well guess what…true love is the only thing that’s healing.

If not for the compassion we all display daily,
   life would undoubtedly never freely exist,
      we would wander around beckoning insanely,
         for love, we should never be willing to resist.

The earth between the cosmos is a natural creation,
   it functions as sphere to protect humankind,
      we all share a common fellowship with true relation,
         for affection bestows grace and stimulates the mind.

Adoring hearts sneak up and take us by surprise,
   they tenderly act as a common soul-saving wonder,
      for everyone somewhere holds love behind their eyes,
         we started feeling the warm kindness when we were younger.

The homeless, broken and torn and sorrowful human beings,
   deserve joy and peace only the earth can deliver and provide,
      there are billions of people in the world not always seeing,
         the compassion given freely when we feel no one is on our side.

Because of the vigorous sparkle on the worlds lovely face,
   we have been blessed that this life we have been bound,
      without reverence the universe would get lost out in space,
         for love, unquestionably, turns this difficult world around.

I read your comment to Silent. Yes people can indeed be hurtful. Often when they are being hurtful it is due to some underlying hurt they have failed to process. When we insulate ourselves for fear of being hurt we miss out on on the "Amazing" God has intended for us. You also never know how the love you have to give can transform another soul. People can indeed change and yes prayer also helps. Hugs Rick.
