Hate not your enemies,
Keep them close to your heart,
Just like Lord Shiva keeps the snake
Around His neck, giving it liberty to move.
Love transcends everything,
It is the quintessence of life.
Wherever you go, tie eternal knots of love,
For love is so healing, so revealing.
Promise to yourself that you are
A winged messenger of love
And under any condition,
You will not allow this promise to sink.
Without love, children feel so lonely,
So caged, insecure, mellowed and withdrawn.
With love, their conversing eyes glow,
Their silent lips smile in colors brilliant,
Like variegated bougainvillea,
Swaying in Spring under the pastel sky.
Love has the beauty of cascading waters,
Like Ganga and Gangotri, it flows with grace,
Supporting life and offering the best to mankind.
It is the absence of love
That creates war, pallid and grotesque,
Making our smiles cold and frozen.
Remove hatred and a glowing light
Adds peace to the serenity of the soul.
All problems have a single solution—–
It is the power of love.
