Love and hate

Love may be
What it is not
But it also may be
What it is
When we think of love
We find peace
But also we find sorrow
For when you love
Hate follows closely behind
Holding its hand
Kissing it softly
Love is a battle
A battle worth fighting
But can love avail
When hate clings on so desperately

"Do it Anyway" Poem from Blessed Mother's Teresa~ 

People are often unreasonable, irrational, and self-centered.  Forgive them anyway.

If you are kind, people may accuse you of selfish, ulterior motives.  Be kind anyway.

If you are successful, you will win some unfaithful friends and some genuine enemies.  Succeed anyway.

If you are honest and sincere people may deceive you.  Be honest and sincere anyway.

What you spend years creating, others could destroy overnight.  Create anyway.

If you find serenity and happiness, some may be jealous.  Be happy anyway.

The good you do today, will often be forgotten.  Do good anyway.

Give the best you have, and it will never be enough.  Give your best anyway.

In the final analysis, it is between you and God.  It was never between you and them anyway.

~Mother Teresa
