Love Matters © 1995

In response to the tragic rash of suicide among young people in the very recent past, I choose to post a poem I wrote years ago that I hope has its place…

LOVE MATTERS ©1995

We’re all children

We’re the children of the rainbow

born to share a multi-colored dream

and we are bound

joining us all, every single heart

is Love’s golden seam

Love is what matters

when reason can’t be found

and lives are like a choice too close to call

Remember what we have

we have each other here

and we share what matters most of all

Love for every one of us

we are fashioned by Love’s hand

side by side we couldn’t fall

Accept each and every life

because we are Love’s greatest gifts

to a world that needs us all

Be true to yourself

and your place in the rainbow

it’s a promise made by your birth

And just like the rainbow

and it’s promise of light

we will join Heaven and Earth

So when the music plays

take someone’s hand and take the chance

and feel the chorus ring above

Because this is life

and Life is the Dance

and the Music, the Music is Love
