Sara Kendrick Poet Quintain (English)

Mistaken Emotions

Never mistake kindness for love
It can be totally selfish
Life for humans not simple dove
Like man who sees a walking dish
It is not love_not from above

Most of what humans want_desire
Is from a heart of self aflame
Selfish motivations transpire
Somehow we ourselves can not tame
Unless in heart Agape love came
