I Believe in Love
I believe in love’s power
To transform hearts
Lubricating from inside and out
When applied in liberal doses
Slathered like lotion,
Smoothing where roughness once lived
I believe in love’s power
To overcome wounds
Inflicted with malice or none
Sticks and stones breaking bones
And spirits,
Throwing up a shield
Uplifting. One of my favorite early childhood memories is of watching my mother apply her lotion...it was indeed slathered...so this image works doubletime for me. Very nice.
