Why not love all.?

Why can I not care.?
Why is it I never dare,
I always will be there for your feelings ,
Just a call away to share.

Why is it when you cry , I must cry.?
Why can I not lie to you,
I try my best to make everyone happy ,
And hide my true pain from all.

Why can I not sleep at night.?
It must be because I know everything is not right,
With war , and hate , God is just waiting at the gate to Heaven .
Maybe just maybe , he might take me too.

I wish the world never had such pain.
For everyone to gain each other's trust,
But why is it we all must fight.?
When we should have love for all.

Why not wipe another's own tears away.?
Why not show them there is no fear today.?
Why will you just sit there and let all feelings waste away ,
And just pray it will all be ok.?

Just why not ,
Why not love all.?

There is a purity to young emotions and your heart is in the right place. You should always love. That love you feel is the way I myself feel. But you will find you must be a brave warrior to love though pain, sadness, disappointment, heartbreak, loss, death. You run into people and things you wish and believe you can help or mend and it is the saddest thing that you can't. A mechanic is the last to admit something is a "basket case" because he has the heart to want to fix it. You will also run into evil and that will be most hard on your heart. If you make it through all you can still keep your love and emotions but you'll bear many injuries and scars. Keep striving...you have exactly the right idea. Same goes for Romantic love....it's much the same.

A thoughtful and heartfelt write. What can we be but who we are. Could be tightened up a little, but still quite a read. Well done. tfs
