Love Is A Sacrifice!

Love Is A Sacrifice!

A Poem by John Pulickal OIC

LOVE IS A SACRIFICE!


Once I asked a rose flower, what is love?

It said to me “love is beauty”

And it smiled at me sweetly

Then it fell down.


Days and days passed

I asked the cloud, what is love?

It said to me “love is service”

And it started to rain gently

Then it became fragile.


Days and days passed

I asked a stream, what is love?

It said to me “love is cheering”

And it caressed me smoothly

Then it retreated.


Days and days passed

I asked a bird, what is love?

It said to me “love is music”

And it sang a song nicely

Then it flew away.


Days and days passed

I asked a tree, what is love?

It said to me “love is sharing”

And it gave a sweet fruit immediately

 Then it stood fruitless.


Days and days passed

I asked the breeze, what is love?

It said to me “love is caring”

And it surrounded me gently

Then it disappeared.


Days and days passed

I asked the earth, what is love?

It said to me, “love is bearing”

And it gave me land abundantly

Then it moved on.


Days and days passed

I asked everyone and everything

What is everlasting love?

Answer was ‘‘dead silence’’

My heart remained dissatisfied.


Years and years passed

I asked a noble man, what is love?

He said to me “No one has greater love than this,

To lay down one’s life for one’s friends”

And he walked with me lovely and friendly

Then he died on the cross!
