We’ll never get to heaven
Without love
All the monies spent
Don’t even make a dent
Without love
We’re cut from a different design
Originals all
Each had an umbilical cord
Was tied to mom’s apron strings
Followed by dad’s purse strings
Then our heart strings lead us
Towards the Ideal
A Model to emulate, to imitate
But we can’t buy our way to heaven
Without love

Meanwhile love

So patiently
For us

Yes, that’s exactly it, Brian. Currency = love not money! Wish the whole world would see that…

tell that to my brother, who’s convinced that once you’re “born again” you can do anything at all and be forgiven (ie, go to heaven)…
we can’t buy our way to heaven
Without love
…and with love, we don’t have to buy our way anywhere (if only people would realize)
Love this, Denise…

Lovely writing, adee. This reminded me of that Beatles’ song, “All you need is love.” It really gave the world a clear message in 1967. 🙂

Nice concept here. The language is lovely and I like your use of ‘strings’ as a device. I enjoyed this, thank you.
