One Road
~~~
Now is not about then
A moment of the past
Now is not about when
A future yet uncast
Now is about now
And it is passing fast
~~~
Will is not about might
A race we hope to run
Will is not about right
A battle to be won
Will is about will
Getting something done
~~~
Love is not about you
That view is way too small
Love is not about the few
Not a battle line to draw
Love is about love
A love for one and all
~~~
Work is not about life
Not who we have become
Work is not about strife
For perfect there are none
Work is about sharing
The road which is but one
~~~
Now will love work?

It is soo good! Loved this.
Yes
Thanks Beth!
Wow… Brilliantly structured. Loved it from start till end. And yes, it sure will work. 💕👍
Thank you Sobia! You are too kind!
I had a conversation very similar to your poem this morning. True love always prevails, but unfortunately, I believe a lot of people are too selfish to understand what true love really means. With that being said though, those of us who understand the love is much bigger than ourselves have the advantage of showing the world how powerful it is. All we can do is continue to spread it and hope that others will listen. Wonderfully penned, my dear! ❤
Thank you, dear Kristian! Keep shining the light!
