To Tell, Share, Love, and Protect

If we all told our truths and had them accepted,

If we all told our experiences and had them understood,

If we all had told our values and had them shared,

If we all shared our kindness and had it appreciated,

If we all shared our wisdom and had it values,

If we all shared our differences and had them loved,

If we all loved one another and had us evolve into a better world,

If we all cared about putting others first and had our egos second,

If we all loved caring for God’s creation and had creative energy to protect,

If we all protected others from fear and hatred and had both replaced by curiosity and love,

If we all protected others from the violence we instigate and had weapons melted down into plowshares,

If we all protected others from vitriol and harmful evil tongues and had both replaced by kindness and light,

No individual or country would worry about the direction of our futures.

No individual or country would think war was better than peace,

No individual or country would let its children die from famine or disease,

No individual or country would want for any human needs.

I heard the people of the world cry out, “Why?”

I answered, “Because there is only peace, hope, light, love, and grace in the name of the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit.

There is nothing more powerful than the Holy Trinity and nothing more important than love.”
