The Book of Kindness and Love
THE BOOK OF KINDNESS AND LOVE
In the Queens' cloisters
Lay a book
A Book called Kindness and Love
The greatest of them all
For you cannot have Truth ,without kindness
For you cannot have The Wise Way ,without love
Such a book
Resting on blue velvet
Each page...
Beaten gold
Letters of jet
This was a book
More beautiful than the sky
More magnificent then a castle
Touched by a Heartstone
Passed on by a hundred Queens
A book , to learn by
A page turned
A new verse learned
Pages turned for centuries
Yet the book never ends
Deep inside the message wends
Kindness and Love
I traced a verse,
with a finger
A strange warmth
Whispered words
Filled me
Love too
This is not magic
It is love
Felt by me
Felt by you
A Book of coloured sunsets
Held in trust by the Queens
On blue velvet
A Book called Kindness and Love
The greatest of them all
For, you cannot have Truth, without kindness
For, you cannot have the Wise Way, without love
