Love Thy Neighbor

Hold on tight to those you love with all the love you’ve got.
Life’s far too short to take for granted those with whom you’ve fought.
Even those who’ve fought in war and did not meet their end.
My Uncle’s Normandy reunion made him a German friend.
They had fought each other and survived that bloody beach.
We can learn a lot from people, just listen what they teach.
The people that respect life and the ones that learn from it.
Are the ones when things are rough least like to throw a fit.
So love your fellow human beings forgiving what they do.
The human being that needs forgiving sometime may be you.
I’m not saying punishment or protection’s never needed.
I’m saying all things work out best when love is ever heeded.
