The Love Law

Let love be your only debt,
Owed to whom do not forget;
For it was part of a loan,
From the Lord upon His throne.

If you have loved all others,
Just like sisters and brothers;
Then full payment has been made,
As per the Law you have paid.

The Law has many commands,
For the love that it demands;
Never to murder or steal,
Or greed for personal zeal.

Rather give others your love,
As much as yourself thereof;
You will never cause them harm,
By showing a loving charm.

Foremost that you need to start,
Loving God with your whole heart;
If you will give up your greed,
Then God will fulfill your need.
