Neighborly Love

Matthew 5:43-48

It has been said to love your neighbor,
As well as for you to hate your foe;
But I say to you not to toil or labor,
Tis better in having some love to show.

Pray for those who have been cruel,
So you may be a son onto the Father;
Even if your enemy acts like a fool,
Your love will hold weight farther.

God shines the sun on evil and good,
Just as rain on the saint and the sinner;
No matter what someone else would,
Treating all the same to be a winner.

Love all of those who also love you,
Even with Kim Jung Il do the same;
Giving on your life a different view,
Ensuring that you put no one to shame.

Salute everyone that are your brothers,
And for anyone else never to neglect;
So make sure that you salute all others,
Since God expects for you to be perfect.
