Ph: Love: 'Fear Of Love' Is An Oxymoron! Poem by Brian Johnston

If you fear love, Love, love it cannot be,
Love's always there to lift your spirit up,
Your sins to bear, like Christ on Calvary.
With love there‘s never a half empty cup.

Love's yoke is easy, its burden is light,
Love's lullaby's there to rock you to sleep,
Love is never without tears for your plight,
Love needs no reminder its promise to keep.

It's not love you fear, but death in disguise,
Love's absence, dressed up in its finery,
Still what do you gain fearing the moon's rise,
Or that the sun will sink into the sea?

Death (if it exists) is just lack of love,
Love's all that's required death to vanquish,
Life is to love as hand is to a glove
And to just cling to life is a fool's wish.

So while we have life let's all share our love,
There's no time like the present to do this,
Fill hearts both on earth and heaven above,
The miraculous gift born of a kiss.
