Love Reigns

What if there were a city

where every time a raindrop fell

its people became a little more patient,

a little more kind,

a little less envious,

a little less proud and boastful.

A city where every time a raindrop fell

its people became less selfish

and sought to honor others a little bit more.

A city where every time a raindrop fell

its people became less angry

and stopped remembering all the ways they’d been offended.

A city where every time a raindrop fell

its people became a little more protecting of others,

a little more trusting,

a little more hopeful,

a little more persevering.

If there were such a city

where Love Reigned

then every time a raindrop fell

its people would be one drop closer to being unstoppable.
