This is the message that you heard, That you should love one another; From the beginning in the Word, Treat them as sister and brother. We should never be just like Cain, The evil one killed his brother; Causing another of such pain, His own deeds hating another. Because his own deeds were evil, Murdered one for their righteousness; Doing the works of the devil, For envy with such brazenness. Be not surprised the world hates you, Marvel not from hate by the world; Because they can never construe, While jeering insults are hurled. We know that pass from death to life, Because of love for all mankind; He who hates will see death through strife, Since they have evil in their mind. A murderer is one who hates, Eternal life not possible; While love to the one that waits, Because they are charitable. We know that Christ laid down His life, So we should lay down our lives; Even though in the midst of strife, For spiritual faith still survives. Anyone who has worldly things, And sees that their brother in need; Should be sharing what it brings, Not allowing a sense of greed. Let us not love in word or talk, Rather through deed and of the truth; Assure our hearts where we walk, Never in becoming uncouth. Copyright ©2022 Richard Newton Sherrer Vote for this poem
