LOVE LIFE

We love life
and as long as we love life
life loves us

and doing so
we love each other
and all peoples of this earth.

Hatred has no place
in a world of peace
as peace is all we need
to work towards
every day
every minute
all the time.

With peace
we can move mountains
and cause opposition to melt
in the heat of the sun
that shines
full of laughter
and tears of joy.

Breath in the clear air
and look after the trees
without them we freeze
and expire.

So look at the sun
a new life begun
get on with living
and love,
love is for living.

Then I ran out of space on my card, listening to the story of John Lennon and Yoko Ono, on Erik's computer, I had to stop writing something else as I couldn't concentrate. Ann.

If I were to cruelly reduce it to its minimum for it would say "let's all be nice"

You said it, "Banal perhaps and yet never something we should forget."
