Brotherly Love

The message will remain the same,
As I always do to proclaim;
From the start to love each other,
Just like a sister and brother.

Never wanting to be like Cain,
Who was acting a bit insane;
Causing death to brother Abel,
Jealousy made him unstable.

A child of the evil one,
For the murder that he had done;
Blood of his brother on his hand,
Allowed to spill upon the land.

Although surrounded by the strife,
We have been passed from death to life;
Because of love for believers,
Eternal life as receivers.

For we understand what is love,
Which is not as a lust thereof;
Rather a love that you would share,
For showing others that you care.

Time and money are just some ways,
In showing the love through a maze;
But laying down your life shows you,
Have the loving care that is true.

To forfeit is a believer,
Who does not is a deceiver;
And they are not truly sincere,
And in God with having no fear.
