If not for love, this world cannot be good, <br />And peace cannot prevail in human race! <br />If not for love, all family members could <br />Become strangers and life would turn a maze! <br /> <br />If not for love, each mother need not nurse <br />Her offspring, rearing them with utmost care; <br />If not for love, life on earth would turn worse, <br />To do all heinous crimes, most men would dare. <br /> <br />If not for love, most beasts could turn extinct, <br />And wars could start for silly excuses; <br />If not for love, men could not have precinct <br />For God, and turn nomads and recluses! <br /> <br />If not for love, God need not create man, <br />And incarnate from womb of one woman!<br /><br />Dr John Celes<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/sonnet-if-not-for-love/
