LET'S LOVE AT ALL TIMES


 “We act like love and mercy are fer Nuts, whenever we feel threatened by a foe! Forgive? We mostly seem ta lack the guts, ta let the love within us freely flow. Ta love, each day, a person must prepare; adversity, we all will prob'ly face. We always need ta practice loving care – for everyone on Earth, in every case. Is that not true?”

OVERCOMING ANGER

 “When fearful fools desire ta kill their foes, those fools could choose ta love those foes, instead. ‘Cause courage Is an option, Heaven knows, and kindness is the path that wise ones tread. Please, Heaven, help me choose the wisest way, and bless me now with lots o’ self-control. Please, help me practice mercy, every day, with all my mind, my strength, my heart and soul!”
