Love Rules

Contributor: Bruce Mundhenke

I watched for years,
As I grew old,
Saw life abounds,
And death surrounds,
Life and death dance daily,
To the music
Of this realm.
Love and fear
Are also here,
Both abound,
Both surround,
But love will
Rule the day.
Sow seeds of love
To reap harvests of joy,
Fear will pass away.
