If Poem by Valerie Dohren

If

Rating: 4.9


If man would pause to meditate
To look within and seek to find
The treasures locked inside himself
In deeper levels of his mind

Then silently to comprehend
In tranquil, contemplative mood
The spark of love and peace divine
In calm and blissful solitude

And if perchance his consciousness
Should grow enough to let him see
A vision of a greater love
A flicker of humanity

Then maybe he could learn to live
In peace with each and every one
And strive towards a better life
When every cry of hate is gone!
..... When every cry of hate is gone!
........ When every cry of hate is gone!
........... When every cry of hate is gone!

You are a lovely lady. I am with you. You can see and suffer with the world. Just know, that everything works for good and you find the secret.
