Everyone can Love





Not everyone can write a lovely poem,

sing in tune,

create an angel out from a marble,

sculpt a statue,

paint a work of art ,

or plays the violin or the piano,

but everyone can love.


Not everyone can see the beauty of nature

hear the melodies of pastorale

read the works of the genius

but everyone can love


Not everyone can appreciate

the glorious days of Rome or Greece,

or visit the pyramids of Mexico or Egypt,

or go to Machu Pichu,

or trek the Himalayas,

but everyone can love


Not everyone can cruise the Mediterranean,

or enjoy the breeze of Caribbean,

or travel a neighboring island,

or bask in the sun,

but everyone can love


Not all of us can be a King, Queen, Prince or a Princess,

or hold an office of a Prime Minister or President,

or even take a foot to a palace of a Sheikh,

but everyone of us can love,

as long as we can recognize the greatness of

the humble and the ordinary existence

and share to others our joy, our pleasure and happiness

Renewable resourse

What are you trying to protect heterosexual marriages from? There isn't a limited amount of love in Iowa. It isn't a non-renewable resource. If Amy and Barbara or Mike and Steve love each other, it doesn't mean that John and Mary can't. - Ed Fallon

Gay Acceptance

Why is it that, as a culture, we are more comfortable seeing two men holding guns than holding hands? - Ernest Gaines
