Space

In the space created without alcohol Where there's no wasteful drinking, Gives room for life to thrive And allows a galaxy of thinking. In the space created by forgiveness Where feelings can be tempered, Life extends without need To reconcile with the offender. In the space created by empathy Putting yourself in their shoes, Fosters an understanding Of the contrary point of view. In the space created by love There's an expanse to be yourself, Bereft of expectations Of living in their dark cell. In the space created by a cross A victory for the Universe, And the law of liberty Bringing heaven to Earth.
