Soldier of Love (Poem)
The solid foundation laid by Jesus Christ,
Is that a man would for his friends give his life,
Love undefiled, fadeless, and pure;
Nevertheless, unconditional, and sure,
A new command I give unto you,
The way I love you, that you love others, too,
By this shall men know that you are my disciples indeed,
By the love that is born of an incorruptible seed,
I am a soldier of love in the army of life
Avoiding controversies which do render strife,
Loving others inspite of opinions, race, prejudice or feelings
In a world caught up in material dealings,
Love at times needs pain to give it birth
Once born in the heart is a medicinal mirth,
True in all of its endeavors to be
Agape love has the power to set you completely free,
I am a soldier of love in the war against hate
It is the command of my King, it is the royal mandate.
