Overcoming Hate And Struggle With Negative Thoughts Poem

This poem is a way to show my daughter the way you can show love and the way you can send hate packing. For me, I have a hard time shutting my brain down.

Love And Hate

Published by Family Friend Poems August 2019 with permission of the Author.

If Love is a dream,
then I shall always dream.
If Love is an earthquake,
then let it shake me.
If Love is fire,
then let me burn.
If Love is a god,
let him rule long.
If Love is a fairy tale,
do tell me the story.
If love is a power,
then let me have the strength.
And if Love is a person,
I pray it is me.

If Hate is a vision,
then I won't look.
If Hate is a story,
I'll close the book.
If Hate is a hunger,
then I just won't eat.
If Hate is a fire,
then don't let me catch fire.
If Hate is a rhythm,
then I'll break the beat.
If Hate is a trick,
then don't trick me.
And if hate is a person,
I pray it isn't me.
