Pure Love

My love of love keeps me alive My love of life is boundless A special feeling has invaded my soul The times I feel it are countless Am I a bit different, am I unique Are there others feeling similar Wish that everyone could feel this joy Love makes life so much simpler It's the way the world was meant to be Damn wars weren't in the plan Love thy brother has been the theme Since this crazy old world began Every nation needs to get back on track D'ya think I'm wasting my breath Don't think this is how it was meant be Who needs all of this stress Life should be simple, live and let live A familiar and sweet old refrain Let's banish all the wars and the hate So only real love remains

The world could certainly do with a lot more of it Jack. Wars achieve nothing but heartache and destruction. Enjoy your weekend. Tom

We should never give up on it.

We have yet to learn how it all works after so many years... is there still hope??? Hmm...

such peaceful and warm thoughts, dearest Jack--and one's that I share. Live and let live for sure. At least we humans could learn to be tolerant of one another and our supposed differences--which in reality may be few and far between. War is political and a destructive means to gain or maintain power. Power comes from fear. Anything driven by fear is of no good. Rambling, sorry. Have a blessed day, Sara

Rambling on but a very accurate description of how the world is constantly at odds with their neighbours! There must be a better way than to be constantly at odds with their neighbours... I'm 88, there MUST be a better way!!! Surely! Love from Canada and Season' Greetings dear Sara! XXX
