POEM - WE ALL NEED LOVE TO SURVIVE

"You take the love with you." (Ghost, 1990)
Why is life so complicated?
I really don’t know why,
Sometimes it’s a struggle to survive
But it’s something I’m going to try.
I think health and happiness is what it’s all about
Yours and others equally,
Loving and caring for all mankind
Treating your fellow man as you would like to be.
Whether Christian or not, I think you will agree
God had the right idea,
‘Love they neighbour as thyself’
Comfort them in times of fear.
The world is thy neighbour
And everyone has the right to live,
So go out and find a lonely person
Love and friendship is all you need to give.
Tell them. “So what if life is complicated!
And no-one has the answers why,
Yes. It’s a struggle to stay alive
But it’s something I’ll help you try.”
