Sarala’s evocative poem is about universal love conquering all, like a radiant sun banishing darkness, exclusively for Different Truths.

This sublime word Love is amazing 
like Mount Everest standing tall. 
It captures everyone's heart like a magical spell 
flowing freely from everyone's heart!
Love is the ultimate language for freedom 
for everyone wiping out the word hatred from all hearts!
Let love reign in our world 
giving it in equal proportion to all!
We are born to love everyone alike.
even though it may not be possible 
in some cases but our utmost goal 
should be to love all and hate none 
as God distributes his love to all 
in equal proportion with no difference !
Let there be love and light 
in all dark corners of the world 
shining like bright stars in the sky 
and raindrops on a parched land 
and a lover's sweet kiss on her 
chubby cheeks shining like hibiscus in rain!
Let love be the slogan of our life today 
and in days to come.
