"Love is all there is,
ever was,
or ever will be."

Shari 1994

In 1994 I discovered my gift for writing poetry, some of which has been published and won awards. Spirit has asked me again to share with all of you, my brothers and sisters.

IF

If the universe were yours and mine alone…
If our hearts didn’t know the feel of pain…
If our world didn’t know the sound of war…
If hatred was replaced by love…
If the sound of angels’ wings was heard by all…
If laughter filled your world and mine…
If summer’s magic never ended…
If moonlight strolls were mandatory fare…
If first love never grew old…
If children never lost their innocence…
If all knew that God was their best friend…
If mother earth could breathe pure air again…
If only you knew what I know…
that…the if’s aren’t if’s at all…
that in one glorious, magnificant span
of time, when the earth stands still…
each momentous rippling change
upon rippling change…
Then & only then will all mankind know
that love is all there is, ever was, or ever will be.
