The Power of Love

What makes us human is our capacity to love
Love is that quality that erases prejudice and moves us to forgive,
Gives us peace of mind in a turbulent world and keeps us sane
Love sees broken souls and heals them
Love hears plaintive cries and answers
Love discerns a need and fulfills it
Love does not see colour, race or features
Love sees people
Yes, we are imperfect
Our love is imperfect
But the power of love overshadows its imperfections
The power of love knows no boundaries, no walls
It holds no record of misgivings but believes in second chances
Love does not ask for anything in return
It is at times a self-sacrificing gift but it is given freely
For when we give love and see the difference that one act of love can make
The feeling is priceless,
Indescribable
And in that one moment we get a glimpse of the power contained in each of us
The power, not to change the world
But to change a part of the world
And then we see the power of our love working in unison

The power to change the world.
