Love

Leunig:  Love one another and you will be happy.  It's as simple and as difficult as that. There is no other way.

It seems so simple.... just one thing to do
The sages through the ages
agree on this simple message

Yet humans are in constant conflict
.... forever striving and conniving
to gain the upper hand.
Be the top dog.... grab the power
.... crush the others under your feet.
and be the boss.

Between you and me it should be easy
yet things always seem to make it hard...
I want to love you...
... and you want to love me...
yet there's always something in the way
.... I find some reason to doubt

I have to slow down.....
.... calm my mind
and lose the frown....
lose the worry and the stress
Then perhaps that love I'll find
