Only The Strong Love
It’s oft been said, “Only the strong, survive;”
it holds deeper meaning than most know;
you could be, physically, the strongest, alive;
and, not know how, to make love grow.
Love is a most mystical, eternal power;
its force is required to make us grow;
its beauty is the wisdom to make a flower;
it’s the purpose, that makes life flow.
When this plant, called life, is over;
Love plants seed for next season;
your energy, temporarily, in clover;
for all things happen for a reason.
Love is the power to give more than you get;
something, very few of us do;
more difficult, than feeling dry, when you’re wet;
love must be what we imbue.
It takes much character, to return love for hate;
it’s like “loving your neighbor” going too far;
it’s a bridge way too far, for many to relate;
forgiving our enemies, seems so bizarre.
The Master forgave hate, at the cross;
God had created him for this role;
for it was appointed, he suffer loss;
only great love could save a soul.
Simply look around you; truth will relate;
many are unfit for the kingdom above.
the weakest of fools, knows how to hate;
but, only the strong, can love.
