Love Poem: Charity Begins At Home

Charity Begins At Home

Tongues as cymbals
Or sounding brass
What you believe
Is but one small path
You may aspire to greater heights
But that will not allow you to advance
In your God's eyes
Love yourself
Not in a lustful way
Love your neighbour 
With all your heart
Embrace your enemy 
The same.
It is in love 
Where the human meets the divine
And in that moment
Heaven's gates open
Knock with love 
And they will open to you.
