Hand in Hand

Hate and Love walked hand and hand,
Side by side they go,
Who is in the right and who is in the wrong?
I guess it just depends where your life has gone.

 

Hate says to Love, "Pain is all I know."
"Sorrow is all I feel,"
"Without it where would I be?"
"Lost in the night?  Washed to sea?"

 

Love says to Hate, "Trust is all I know."
"Kisses on a sunset beach."
"Without it where would I be?"
"'Cept Bitter and lonely"

 

Hate replies, "As long as I can feel my pain I know I'm real."
"As long as the tears fall, I can be me."
"Love can come and go in the night,"
"But I'm always here and always right."

 

Love replies "I think you need help,"
"If that's the life you see."
"There's so much love that can be given,"  
"And even hate can be forgiven."

 

So here Hate and Love parted their ways,
They walked hand in hand no more,
Hate went on hurting,
Love went on loving.

 

Then one day Love Passed away,
Died without a reason or cause,
While Hate remained in the world today,
Always teaching those who seek out Love it's way...
