If love is blind then all are lost
Stumbling in the dark
Sightlessly caring for anything
Everyone plays a part

If life's a stage we write the script
Personality the pen
The final act the final part
We all will meet our end

If hate is pain then pain released
Will set everyone free
When we all see everyone
As love was meant to be...

Thomas

This is a wonderful poem, and a wonderful idea! I'll contribute some stanzas, and I hope everyone will do the same!

If you learned to love another
As our Heavenly father loves you
Then no one would ever feel alone
With no one to care what they do

If we could learn it's ok to cry
And to let go of our pride
Maybe kids wouldn't explode and kill
Because of things hidden inside...

Excellent poem Thomas!  Beautifully written and a lovely flow ... lets see if I can add a few after LoveBug to keep it going ...

***

If every day were easy,
   Always flowed without a care,
Then how could we determine
   If we're really happy here?

If we could not experience
   A "down" day now and then,
We never could appreciate
   The "happy" days, my friend.

***

Great poem Thomas!

Best wishes,
/Kit

Maybe some other time I'll add to it...but right now, I'm just enjoying having read it.
I like question poems like that.

if we could see each others hearts.
would we cause each other much pain?
if all the pain that you felt,
could be felt by one of us.

If only I knew how it all will end,
I would tell you now my friend.
the only thing that I know for sure,
is that its dust to dust once again.

I hope that this is worthy to have a place with your talent.  I did the best that I could.  Hope you like it.

You are such a great writer!  You need to let me have some of your passion for writing.  You already know that I have nothing to add, but I'm sure that you will find something.

I loved this poem and I am sorry that I can't add anything, but I think that people who did come up with add ons did a great job and, then it will make it even better.
