LOVE ENOUGH
Idea on the seventh of the keys to contentment by Goethe
7 Love enough to move you to be useful and helpful to others

Love enough within each heart to help someone in need,
Love enough to share your food so other people to feed,
Love enough to care enough and show them that you care,
Every day all life through of other folks be truly aware.

Love enough to put others needs before your own,
Love enough in inside so a few kind words are sewn
In an aching heart when there is nothing else you can do,
Love enough to keep your spouse happy all life through.

Love enough to teach a child of goodness and honesty,
Show them the way so kind and loving they will be,
Love enough to share when there is little to go around,
The kind of love that is not very often found.

Love enough to pray for your worse enemy or foe,
Love enough to show folks you don’t like, the way to go,
Love enough to understand that no two people are alike
And love them for their differences, so make life bright.

Show enough love that people know you really care,
Show enough love to tell them you will always be there,
Show love enough that will heal a sad and broken heart,
Show everyone you know that you will do your part.
