If We Only Have Love - A Poem

Author Unknown

If we only have love
Then tomorrow will dawn
And the hope of our years
Will rise on that morn

If we only have love
To embrace without fear
We will kiss with our eyes
And we'll sleep without tears

If we only have love
We can reach those in pain
We can heal all our wounds
And then we'll have a new name

If we only have love
We can melt all the guns
And then give a new world
To our daughters and sons

If we only have love
Then Jerusalem stands
And in death there are no shadows
There are no foreign lands

If we only have love
Love that is falling like rain
Then the parched desert earth
Will grow green again

If we only have love
To be shared by all men
Then we'll start a new life
And we'll be born once again

Then with nothing at all
But the little that we are
We'll have conquered all time
All space, the sun, and the stars

Let us have love!
