At Peace

Love is like a chariot
Floating across the sky,
Nothing ever stopping it
As it passes by.
Few people ever see it,
Even fewer even try
To feel the joy of love
Once, even before they die.
Love is the first language
That should be taught,
Always being earned,
Never to be bought.
The language of love
Is not like all the others;
It can be taught by anyone,
Especially by fathers and mothers.
If everyone could be taught to love,
All barriers would be broken
Because this language can be taught
Without a single word spoken.
