Love Won
Yesterday, love won –
An end to a long but fading storm
That fed on scared and hateful souls,
And marred the skies of liberty
Like Jupiter’s swirling mark
Yesterday, love won
For those who had the ears to hear,
And those who had the eyes to see
The tearing of the temple veil,
And crumbling walls of inequity
Yesterday, love won
As hardened hearts and minds gave way
To the unyielding march for human rights,
And granted those who hoped for change
With dignity and pride.
