They all said,
we were wrong to fall in love with each other
that girl is from across the tracks
and her skin is brown
remember you are a white boy,
and we don't mix with those kind
her folks said
he dozen't speak our native tongue
and he dozen't know our ways or customs
besides the point
he worships a heathen God
but our God
is the God of all
and God knows
I see love in your eyes
for we don't care
what the world may say
and our children
will be as good as yours
all that matters to us
is that we have found each other
and we will never let go

this really spoke deep in my soul and touched me deeply, precious healer man. It radiates such beauty deep, deep within your soul that the carnal mind’s of others may not always see. It shows what a tremendous gift of grace to have the heart you have…Those glorious Heavens winds look after you so much, Peter.. As always your spirit inspires and heals this dove, me..
(((Love Forever, Dove )))
Thanks for your love and insight Peter...for all of us poets.
