The wondrous blessing called;
Life,
has nothing at all to do
with its circumstances,
or conditions thereof,
but only with the potential,
limited and unlimited,
to share a perspective with
S pirit.
T he only tools we need
to make this existence
realize true perfection
within this lifetime, are
Free will
and
Love.
Author notes
This poem was written with
great excitement after receiving
the following email from a friend:
"Without love we are nothing.
We are here to help each other,
to care for each other,
to understand, forgive,
and serve one another.
We are here to have love
for every person born on earth.
Their earthly form might be black,
yellow, brown, handsome, ugly,
thin, fat, wealthy, poor,
intelligent, or ignorant,
but we are not to judge
by these appearances.
Anything we do to show love
is worthwhile: a smile, a word
of encouragement, a small act
of sacrifice. We grow by these
actions. Not all people are
lovable, but when we find
someone difficult for us to
love, it is often because they
remind us of something within
ourselves that we don't like.
We must love our enemies -
let go of anger, hate, envy,
bitterness, and the refusal
to forgive. These things destroy
the spirit. We will have to
account for how we treat others.
Most of us try to 'do right'
by others, but, we are all
'only human.' We are all
'sinners,' no one is perfect.
All we can do is try to live
worthy lives.
The most important thing that
we should do however, is to
try to teach others, who are
less inclined to have love and
compassion for their fellow man,
that we are all equal in the
universe, and that no man is
greater, because of education,
or wealth, than any other."

If only circumstance weren't so difficult for some.. yet love can always be given

Beautiful write and what a wonderful inspiration for this piece, as well. I liked the ending. It makes me think of how love can find people in life, but only if we choose to let it in. Thanks for sharing and best of luck in the contest.
