The theme of love
Has been a constant thread running throughout time,
And a building block of civilization.
WITH IT,
People are able to work together
WITHOUT IT,
people have torn each other to pieces.
WITH LOVE
Even though poor or suffering
People have found hope and happiness.
WITHOUT IT,
Little else has meaning.
WITH LOVE,
People thrive and grow.
WITHOUT IT,
In one way or another----THEY DIE.
Love's absence brings about death.
While Loves presence creates life.
It gives energy and strength.
It brings unity and peace.
To the extent that there is love-
There is also harmony in persons.
Love provides meaning for why we are all here.
Love is the most powerful and creative force around.
Nuclear technology can harness the physical
energies of the earth
BUT ONLY LOVE CAN TOUCH THE HUMAN SPIRIT.
Weapons kill the body,
BUT,
ONLY THE REFUSAL TO LOVE CAN DESTROY THE SOUL.

Lisann, I love this. It is full of truths. So many things would be different in our world if people would have love in their hearts for their fellow human beings.
I really enjoyed reading this...

Such a little goes a long, long ways,
   glad to read you once again,
        it's been awhile, I
            can see all
             that I've
              missed
