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
