When We Need Love More
The world can be messy and downright ugly,
But that is why love matters more. The world
Can be hateful and despiteful, but that is why
Love matters more. The big world hides snugly
In its odd corners, but that is why love unfurled
Itself to show its true colors. We are afraid to pry
The truth out from its shell, but we should raise
Our voices, speaking for the vulnerable and those
Who have never been shown love. We speak for
Those undervalued. Love is like a bright blaze
That shines during the dark times. Love shows
Itself when we need it the most. Love will roar.

Our voices, speaking for the vulnerable and those
Who have never been shown love. We speak for

That shines during the dark times. Love shows
