True love never dies
It becomes the air we breathe
The air we exhale
Becomes a gift once we become aware
To hold close to our Hearts
As we love others in our world
Love is like a never-ending river
As it's shared throughout life
Until the last breath, it's exhaled
Surrounding others in its warmth
Warming those who care to feel it
Becomes a part of life that's left
The world will never rid itself of love
It's here to stay in Hearts of others
To be shared in generations to come
Sadly, not everyone will feel love
Instead, hatred is shared through time
With most every person infected by it
Hopefully, more love fills the air
Than hatred ever can
Though one wonders ... when everyone's at war
I've lived in both worlds ... love ... hate
I learned to hate as well as love
Before I knew it ... love pushed hate away
Until no hatred was left behind
Like a glass full of water
I am full ... of love
Love until the day I die
No matter what ... I won't hate
When I die, I want my last breath to exhale ... love

These words came to mind when I was thinking about the world in general ... and of course it became personal ... I thought about me, my life.
