Love Poem: The Elixir of Life

The Elixir of Life

The Elixir of Life we all need to sup
A teaspoon a day to cheer us all up
Our world is such a beautiful place
But evil spirits inhabit this space
If only by drinking the Elixir of Life
Like a magical potion; like waving a wand
A sprinkling of fairy dust sparkling on all of us
To change human nature; evil spirits superfluous 
Banishing cruelty and sin and malevolence 
Bringing back kindness and love and pure innocence
But sadly there is no magical potion
Just a whimsical fantasy - a far-fetched notion
