THE LOVE TREE (This is what we need)

Hope can keep our wildest dreams alive

Joy can set the imprisoned spirit free

Faith is the only lane at which possibilities can arrive

Love bears it all as fruits on a fruitful tree.

Many exist as flowers that blossom in the morning and fade away by moonlight.

Many live their lives on the platform of silver and gold.

The earth flames in the fury of an angry fire that seizes our sight.

But yet we strive to survive amidst this furnace that can never get cold.

What do we have to lose when we have nothing to gain

Why do we have to give when there is nothing to receive?

Our good deeds have become a crime that is worthy of disdain

Why should we love when our love is only out to deceive?

Listen, look and learn like the leaves on a tree

Clinging together in high esteem above

One which is separated from the branch withers away as if it hurts to be free

But together they blossom into this incredible tree of love

If our world was a magnificent tree, and we were all leaves on our branches

Would our utmost priority not be unity to survive?

Why would we succumb to the tap tap our heart beats that race after evil and grudges?

Why would we fight and kill one another, if we knew we need each other to survive?

Watch the leaves as they stick together watching each other’s back

Watch as they chorus and cry together when the wind blows violently across their shores forcing them to flee.

I wish we could love more and love without holding back

I wish we could live in peace and unity like the leaves on a tree.

Yes! I don't know what led me to write this, but not-with-standing, I believe it was divine. 1Cor 13:4-8. Love is above all, for if you cannot love the people you see everyday, you are not capable of loving God. Let's stop saying it and start showing it. If I love you, I wouldn't do anything to hurt you, and this consciousness is just what we need. Preach Love today!
