Without

Posted on June 16, 2013June 16, 2013 by cepcarol

Without love, the world is a cold place
We search our whole life for that one person
To love and be loved
How blessed are we to find such a treasure.

Without peace, we are in hell
People misplaced, refugees without rights
War-torn cities, faces of despair
How terrible this burden of destruction.

Without hope, we are lost
We wander aimlessly, darkness follows us
God is far away, we cannot reach him
How broken the spirit of our soul.

Without charity, empathy is missing
All the riches we possess is nothing
If we cannot reach out to the marginalised
How hard our hearts, if suffering cannot be felt.

Faith our guide in prayer
Where we meet God who is love
With love, our heart overflows
And peace, hope and charity becomes fully alive

I'm a Eurasian of Portuguese, English, Scottish and Malay heritage. And my extended family are of Chinese and Indian heritage. In recent years, the younger generation have added on to include spouses from the Philippines, Nigeria and Russia. My world is made up of different colours like the rainbow. And like the rainbow I am unique. Reading is my form of relaxation, to escape from the drudgery of daily life and enter into a world of the imagination. It is the love of reading that has led me to try my hand in writing short stories and poems. I hope that in some way my stories and poems will take you for a little while away from the drudgery of the present into the pages of imagination. To new friends found, I bid you, Welcome.
