Only Love
Can love can build a wall
stronger than bigotry,
overcoming brick by brick
the world's adversities?
Can you make a difference
is your voice meant
to be heard,
there's power in you
and what you believe
say what you will
word for word.
Those who stay silent
afraid to reveal,
we'll never know
what they feel.
There will always be right
as well as wrong,
black and white
all day long.
Help me understand as
I step into tomorrow,
how love can build a wall
and vanish all my sorrow.
If only love can build a bridge
my prayer is simple tonight,
close your eyes rest in hope
love will make things
right.

I am a great believer in joining poems with songs pictures and videos. Nana Mouskouri sang a song with this same title back in 1985. It is stunning, she is beautiful, and your poem blends well with them. Check it out here and see if you agree:
