Love Came Down Poem by David Michael Barnett

Love came down from heaven,
and touched a young woman's heart -
and soul, and mind, and womb,
then changed her life.

Love grew up in a community,
and heads began to turn,
and hearts began to burn,
and love began to flow.

Love changed lives,
by mending broken bodies,
transforming a broken culture.
and healing broken hearts.

Love had opposition,
from men with a different agenda,
than bringing people to God,
and restoring hope and love.

Love died a cruel death,
on a rough piece of wood
and most gave up;
evil had won.....or so they thought.

Love came ALIVE,
and changed many lives,
and still changes our lives -
if we open our mind and heart.

Love has overcome the world!
