As Simple As “love” (Poem) Poem by Dave Tanguay

We are born with a natural will to survive-
As we grow, this becomes our primary drive.
We begin our lives, always asking “WHY? ”
The answers we receive - very seldom, - satisfy

Surely, there’s more to life, then to follow the rules.
For all of life’s mysteries are not taught in our schools
To heed to our calling and follow our dreams
We find the world coming together just like a team

With freedom, we find the answers to overcome
All of our fears
For united we all work equally in our new - born frontier
We see the comfort, in sentimental conservatism
However, we must believe in a moral liberalism

For to live with God’s love, is not to obey his rules.
But, to know in our heart they were created as tools
By practicing either constituted, or scriptural law
We all come to the page which states we must withdraw,

When we leave the courtyard, or the church
We have not a script, to involve us with research.
By confronting our neighbor, with what comes from the heart.
We find we are masters, of the oldest and most creative art.

Love worketh no ill to his neighbor; therefore, love is the fulfilling
Of the law... Bible, Romans ch. X111, V.13
