The light of love

It was a day,

As ordinary as other days.

When I unknowingly discovered,

The world's most beautiful place.

 

A place where there was,

Neither the sun nor the moon.

And yet it had not a trace of darkness,

All around light was strewn.

 

I kept walking down the lane,

Devouring the beauty with my eyes,

When I beheld the occupants of the land,

Having beaming faces and fabulous smiles.

 

Everything was so perfect,

In this distant unknown land,

But the mystery of its brilliance,

I could not understand.

 

It was then that I stopped,

And asked a resident about the mystery,

And then I was told the reason,

Behind the place being so sightly.

 

"Welcome to the Land of Love, Miss!",

Said to me, the resident,

"The love and loyalty of the people here,

Is the cause of its brilliance."

 

"We have no sun, moon or stars,

To give us any light,

But we have truth and love in our hearts,

Which makes our land so bright."

 

Perplexed and astonished I was,

As all this, I never knew.

Love for fellow being is so strong,

I never had a clue!

 

Suddenly everything went dark,

When I opened my eyes.

And that it was a mere dream,

I immediately realised.

 

It might be a dream,

But can't we make it true?

Love alone is the cure

for hatred and discrimination,

And our world needs it too.

I have a heart too ►
