CAPACITY TO LOVE

We all have the capacity to love

Divinely ordained from above

which cannot truly be without giving

and is a reason for many to go on living

Our capacity to love a gift like no other

As long as we reduce the "I" making room for another

Our capacity to love weighs down the negative

so that all that stays afloat is the positive

Our joy now finds a new location

In the smile of another and their elation
