Love

"If I speak with human eloquence

and angelic ecstasy but don't love,

I'm nothing but the creaking of a rusty gate.

If I speak God's word with power,

revealing all of His mysteries,

and making everything plain as day,

and if I have faith to say to a mountain,

"Jump," and it jumps,

but I don't love, I'm nothing.

If I give all I own to the poor

or even go to the stake to be burned as a martyr,

but I don't love, I've gotten nowhere.

So, no matter what I say,

no matter what I believe,

no matter what I do,

I'm bankrupt without love."

 

All the things I always remember,

to show kindness,

to have patience,

to forgive and ask for forgiveness.

To be an example,

and watch others as examples...

But I always forget to love.

Without love we are bankrupt.

Without love we are dead.

Without love we are hopeless.

Love is what saved us in the beginning.

Love is what God shows us daily.

We must not forget to love others.

Love is the root of our life.

Love gives us the strength to be kind,

to have patience,

to forgive, and ask for forgiveness.
Love is our life.

Streets

   Oh those cold streets, once so beautiful and full of life; now only leading to pain and sorrow. Those streets were as though they were paths to Hell itself. Evil beckoned anyone who dare walk the path into this barren city.
   Oh the city, what a sight. A devastating sight indeed. Rugged streets filled with hatred and malice. Darkness hovered over the tops of each and every building. The clouds which lay lowly on this place put a heavy burden on any who walked these streets. Demons lurked at every corner and hid in every shadow. Waiting to devour their next victim. Any lost soul struggling through this life.

Any who would answer their call.
