Love, Like Rain Pouring In A Hot Day Poem by Martin Ayanbare Ayankola

Love is the sweet smile in the face of mama
When you visit home from your city abode
Love is the forgiveness that comes after being hurt
Like rain pouring in a sizzling hot weather
Love is the pain that you bear to make others laugh
Love is the light you shine into others' dark days
Love is the helping hand you give to help a falling brother
Love is the soothing words you say that heal age long wounds
Love is the unwavering, unrelenting truth you speak to a derailing brother
To turn him around
Love is the balm of Gilead that heals deep wounds







Love is the trust that you renew after every hurt
Love is the long wait light after seaons of darkness
I was born in love
Nurtured in love's soothing arms
I am a child of love
A scion of light
And today I nestle in the soothing arms of love

I fight for love
Hunger for her
