LOVE AND ITS SHADOW

Different directions

LOVE AND ITS SHADOW

There is nothing in this world 
That can be compared to the power of love
No human being can escape this life
Without experiencing the hand of love 

Love speaks louder than hate
It appeals to ear of reason
And the heart of understanding 
Two attributes woven into every human being 

Those that respond to its light of direction
Its arms of protection and voice of compassion 
Will walk on the highway of peace
And eat from the tree of life
In the midst of a drought 
They shall not go thirsty 

Everyone loves...
Some love things, fame, power, money 
Some love people, all people 
They give themselves to help 
No matter the time of day or night 

But there is selfish type of love 
The kinda love one shows 
Only to one self, never reciprocating 
That which was given freely, 
From the watery grave of conception.

Wilford Barker.
