Never Leave Love Aside

Joe Strickland 1986 (Hobbysville, SC)



Love is the light
that guides us through
the darkest nights
A beacon of hope
that shines bright
in the midst of chaos
It's the thing
that keeps us going,
even when we feel like giving up
A force so strong,
it can overcome anything
life throws our way

Never leave love aside,
it's all we have
In a world full of darkness
and despair,
love is the only thing that can save us
It's a gift that we must cherish,
a treasure to hold onto tight
A reminder that we are never alone,
that we are always loved

Love has the power to heal,
to lift us up when we fall down
It's a bridge
that connects us,
a bond that unites us all
We can never let go of love,
even in the toughest of times
It's the only thing
that can conquer hate
and change the world
for the better

May we always keep love in our hearts,
and let it guide us on our journey
With love by our side,
we can conquer anything
that comes our way
It's the key
to a happy life,
the secret
to a peaceful world
Never leave love aside,
it's all we have.

I'm just a regular, blue collar, working stiff who took an interest in writing poetry many years ago but until recently I haven't had a desire to share any with anyone or pursue publication. I'm an unpublished fork lift operator by night, and a day drinker by choice. I can be followed on Twitter @JoeStricklandSC more…
