As children we are taught
to love one another.
Then from this love
our spirits will grow.
Thus all shall be good
in the world.
That is not always so.
While we may love
others may hate.
While we are giving
others will take.
When giving so completely
asking nothing in return.
Our gifts are questioned with
distrust from those that
have never learned.
This precious gift we
all are given.
From one greater than we.
Was meant to be given
back in love.
Then with love it
shall be received.
Yet, there will always be
those who cannot trust.
Thus, if they cannot trust
they surely will never love.
For the two are one
and the same,
given to us from above
We who can, must
continue to care.
Embracing those
who cannot give.
Giving to those who
cannot care.
Trusting that love
will bring us
together in this
world of despair.
Thus ,when our time
has ended.
As it must for us all.
We will know we
have given
love from our gift
of life.
The most precious
gift of all.
