Love and Hate

By Mary Love Dance

What is there but
Love
To spread to
All mankind

What is there but
Love
It only takes
Being kind

What is there but
Love
To give
To another

What is there but
Love
We all came from
One mother

“Love doesn’t give you the right to treat me wrong. Love doesn’t give you the right to lie. Love doesn’t give you the right to disrespect me. Love doesn’t give you the right.”

This book is

dedicated to my family whom has shown me the true meaning of love and the struggles families have around loving one another. Love is complicated and beautiful. The old adage there is a thin line between love and hate is true. I hope you find these poems comforting, enlightening and it makes you think about the love you share and experience each day.

The best and most beautiful things in this world cannot be seen or even heard, but must be felt with the heart.

- Helen Keller
