Welcome to this house where love abides,
Come in and stay awhile.
There are no corners where hatred hides,
No jealousy, nor guile.

This is the house where children learn,
To love their fellow man.
Your welfare will be of great concern,
Though you be from another clan.

You will not be judged by color or creed,
Nor by status low or high.
The acceptance of love, is all you need,
If this house you would occupy.

Just enter and learn, and then go out,
And greet each passerby
With kindly words and without a doubt,
Your kindness will multiply.

For he who is met with a pleasant word,
Will extend the same to another.
When slurs and insults are no longer heard,
A stranger becomes a brother.

This is really nice Joyce!
A positive plan for the betterment of all humanity- and the elimination of senseless treachery, practicing the Golden Rule(Matthew 7:12) which you have enunciated here very well.  Bravo-May it be well recieved and bless many!

Than where Hearts knit as
one,
For in that grand
experience,
The Better ALL become.

God Bless us All!!!

Joyce,

Amen-- This certainly is a wonderful place to reside....  almost like Heaven on Earth in my opinion.  It will be a great place when we all can set our flesh aside and live in brotherhood as one.  How good and how pleasant it is for brethern to dwell together in unity.  Bob <><

Excellent write, Joyce.  So much truth in here.  Very well done!  

All writing comes
by the grace of God.
