Let Your Light Shine! Poem by Tom Zart

God must love people who let their light shine
Or He wouldn't have made so many.
Those who claim it's a mental disease
Have never been loved by any.

Love is stronger than life itself
And jealousy more cruel than the grave.
Men and women have loved one another
Since they spent their nights in a cave.

When the hands of love touch the strings of souls
There'll be babies on the way.
That's the basic rules of life
No matter what games we play.

Like the flowers in the fields we shed our shields
To be warmed by the sun.
We live our lives the best we can
Till death catches us on the run.

Life on Earth is a dangerous journey
As we walk down survival's road
Fearing someday that we might suffer.
Lord, we pray you'll lighten our load.

Our own ignorance keeps us happy
For there's so much we're not to know
Like who shall die, where, when and how
As the storms of our seasons blow.

No hope for human brotherhood
With one world, one race, one rule
We die from too much knowledge
And the greediness of a fool.

Someday there'll be a brand new life
Where the righteous rule, night and day.
No tears, death, pain nor sorrow
From the world that passed away.
