Dear neighbor, I love you

Gloria Onyuru

Dear neighbor, I love you.If only you knew how much!How I yearn for you to have freedom, prosperity,peace,(Just as I Yearn for mine.)With no bondage, no poverty, no war—There would be such.

Dear neighbor, God loves you.If only you knew how much!How Soul embodies your identity, your integrity,your joy,(Just as She does mine.)With no confusion, no incursion, no loss—There would be such.
