“Have enough courage to trust love one more time and always
one more time.”
Maya Angelou
_____________________________________________
Sometimes it is hard to trust love
With those who do not love anyone
Perhaps not even themselves have the power
When love is given to things
To money
To ideologies
And not people
One tries to love
But those whose lives embody
Hate, anger, greed, selfishness
Act
Again and again and again
In ways that kill love
Every time we open Facebook
Read a paper
Watch the news
We see what happened with love of the Sacred
Love of others
Is missing
It is not pretty
And our own insistence to try and live love
Is challenged by injustice
By people legislating
Saying
Doing such ugly things
We know we must try to put things right
But how do we keep our trust in love
And resist, in love
It is difficult this task
Impossible perhaps
But it is our call
It is the only way
Love wins
