A Christmas Thought

On this day a thought:

I believe love will win the day

have you ever considered the rock
strong and seemingly impenetrable
stands unalterable by your hand
have you considered the water
how you can dip your hand through it and it envelopes you
have you seen the shore where the rock meets the sea
have you the time to consider how that which gave way to your gentle touch and infused you with its life has taken the hard impenetrable stone and suffered to gradually smooth it to pebble and eventually sand

I believe love will win the day because hate is exhaustible and love, in the true heart, is not.
