Remembering San Bernardino and those lost...Only Love contd.

It is hard to believe that a year ago, we lost some of our own so unexpectedly.     An act of violence can never been considered an act of sacrifice.  God doesn't ask for such a sacrifice.  He deals in life and love.    Love and hate cannot dwell in the same place at the same time.  Nothing can justify such violence.  Nothing.  Love is a choice.  I pray it is a choice we all will make.

If we can imagine the world as a global sphere to which we all can relate
We can put an end to hate.

No matter where we are on the circumference of the whole,
We share the universal globe.

The view from the bottom to the top
Only changes with the view we've got.

Whether we stand in Africa, China or the USA,
We are standing on the the same global sphere.

Whether we are white or black, yellow or brown,
The world we share is the same all around.

As a part of the whole,
We share a universal soul.

The pain of one is the pain of another.
We are all brothers.

There is no need to fear, no need to hate
Because the world is a global sphere to which all can relate.

We should have one aim, one goal...
To protect the whole.
