I Will Speak Of Love
Declaration of peace.56 total reviews
Comment from WalkerMan
In six splendid, well-rhymed couplets, you express in your own words the principles which motivated both Gandhi and Martin Luther King, Jr. Those who hate and urge others to do the same are the principal dividers in this world, and we'd all be better off without them. The only remedy is exactly the example you set by the action of loving all and declaring that publicly to make others aware, in hope they'll agree and follow the same path. My own parents were of this viewpoint, and I have followed it all my life too. For there to be real peace on Earth, both we and our elected leaders must choose love over hate. The problem is how to deal with the incorrigible few who flatly refuse to recognize the harm that hate does. Superb.

You speak as a man who not only knows, but practices love in a very real way. Thank you.

You are most welcome, Nolan. Yes, it is the only way that ever has made sense to me. What a person does and says counts. Outward appearance is only for visual recognition as the unique individual each of us is. The haters focus only on groups, ignoring our God-given individuality. In relatively few words, your poem goes straight to the core of the issue. -- Mike

I love your declaration of peace. I trust that He will come soon to reign in justice and righteousness and love, and that will restore all humanity under Him, to peace and unity. A beautiful and powerful poem, thoughtful and well written. Thanks for sharing it.

Comment from Janet Foor
A powerful declaration of peace my friend. I often wonder how we got here and then I look at the history books and even the Bible and we can find hatred and resentment. Truly God intended for us to live peacefully with one another and love each other. I hope and pray that one day we get it.
Blessings

Janet, You and I are on the same page. It is my greatest desire, far above riches and recognition, I value a world of love, peace and true security.

Nomi,
This is an extremely powerful poem, opining the destruction hatred causes. Our world is full of wars, court-battles, and family fighting. We have to learn to love one another. There are many injustices in the world. We need good leadership, more love and compassion.
Excellent poem.
Good luck in the contest!
Blessings,
Cindy

I love it! Amazingly well put. I say this to my kids all the time. Hatred always clouds our minds and our hearts. Creates destruction. Really, truly outstanding!

Comment from karenina
Bless you for this poem, this prayer, this belief--in light of the divided world we live in.
I wonder how it is we got here from there? There--the Creator's hands, never biased, or prejudiced, or hateful.
How far astray have the souls of our world gone?
It will take many such as you-- defiantly dedicated to not contributing to hate-- to begin to turn our faces toward the "Son" again...

Comment from lancellot
A warm and positive concept. It is a good dream and one that I hope could be a reality. If it is done by man or God, as long as it happens. how and when, who knows? But at least for today, it is a nice heartwarming sentiment.
Well done.

Your poem has an excellent message. All need to read it and follow the plan. Your rhymes are good, the flow is smooth, and the imagery is great.
Life today is about reactions. If one could do as you have written, then think about how it could be if everyone did that. Thanks for sharing.
Respectfully, Jan
