Don't Underestimate the Power of Earthly Love

Please don't underestimate
The power of earthly love.
Finding beauty in another
Ordinary human being is
Indeed one of everyman's
Windows opened to holiness.

Please don't vilify
The power of earthly love.
Desire to be one with another
Ordinary human being is
Indeed everyman's door to
The quests of overcomimg differences.

Let's celebrate
The power of earthly love!
And allow this foretaste of the Heaven
To grow into the seed of holiness
In everyone's heart.
