Missing is the Light
Missing is the Light from this life Love thy neighbour God said The world needs love to end the strife Of war and needless death. It must be understood That evil is not good Or rivers running blood. Man can put things right Missing is the Light.

There are far more of ordinary folks than leaders. We are the greedy ones, feigning humility and perfection. Yikes It is WE ......to love our fellow man. Just look at this site and Poets cry to me about the paucity of comments. STOP moaning and comment. I mean give more than receive. Not all have the same time. I understand, Panagiota

Hi Panagiota, it will always be that some get more replies than others, sad though it is there just isn’t enough time in the day to reply to the many poems that get posted. What’s more important than not having enough time is to be kind, kindness reaps it’s own rewards. Thank you… Belle

Hello Belle ... we certainly do need some of our leaders to see the night instead of grabbing for greed - thanks Belle - Lindsay
