Tsunamis of love.
Love doesn't first ask why,
Unless why helps to answer the question,
How do I best meet the need,
Love finds the need,
And meets it,
Are you hungry?
If yes, love gives you some bread,
Is there cloth on your back,
If no, then your back shall be covered,
Are you thirsty,
If yes, love gives you a drink,
Have you been hugged and touched today,
If no, then love gives you some to last a while,
Love first meets a need,
A need for a prayer,
A need for warmth,
A need for a genuine smile,
A need for a friend and companionship,
A need for understanding,
A need for empathy,
A need for genuine compassion,
A need for joy,
A need for shelter,
Love never condemns,
Love never judges,
Love doesn't first ask why,
Except it informs the best way to meet the need,
The whys are secondary,
They will come later,
Why you are homeless,
Why you are hungry,
Why you are jobless,
Why you are a robber,
Why you are a delinquent,
Why you are a rapist,
Why you are corrupt,
Why you are a terrorist,
Why you are cold,
Why, why , why ...
Love asks and finds where the need is,
Then it meets it,
And this love,
Is stronger than a thousand tsunamis,
Love's creed is to meet the need,
How best?, is the primary question,
Every other thing is secondary,
And this tsumanis like all tsunamis,
Doesn't care about black or white, or pink or brown,
Doesn't care about rich or poor,
No matter who you are,
It will will blow you away just the same,
We all need it,
The worst of the worst crisis in the world,
Is a dearth of love,
A force so strong,
The best words diminish it,
So if everyone just looked around,
Found a need and met it,
It mustn't be anything big,
Even the smallest act of love is big,
It can save a suicidal life,
Something as big as,
Saying I love you,
And showing that you care,
By just being there,
If we all looked beyond ourselves,
And showed a little love,
What a world we would have,
Stop the finger pointing and the blaming,
Just love.
