Walking In Love Poem by Gbolagade Taiwo

What does it mean to love?
Love is the sacrifice
Of what is pleasurable to you
For the benefit of your fellow men

Love is when you see others
As being yourself
And you allow for the extension
Of the love you have for yourself
To your fellow men

You were binded before by commandement
And you continued to live
As a prisoner under the law
For you cannot do without sin

But of love,
You were saved from the law
For the divine sent you
His only begotten son
To free you from the bondage of law
And it was replaced with love
Which brought light into your life

The hidden thing that you do not know
Is that the hatred you have towards
Your fellow men
Will keep you in darkness
For you cannot be corrected by who you do not love
Neither can you stay around them
For you will not feel safe
When you love, you will not hurt others
For you will not want to hurt yourself
Love is God
God is light
If he dwells in you
Your life will have his light
The light will illuminate
The hidden things of life for you
Give to poeple
What they cannot find anywhere
And they shall keep giving back in many folds
Love conquers everything.
