A Metaphor for Hope and Love

Love of life must hold sway.
Giving’s the light holding darkness at bay.
A metaphor for hope and love.

I get high off giving things away.
For positive cause and effect to hold sway.
Giving another a heart felt hand.
Nothing in return, no pleas or demands.
Giving’s an act of love.

Love of life must hold sway.
Giving’s the light holding darkness at bay.
A metaphor for hope and love.

I’ve been hurt giving away my art.
It’s out of love I gave others a start.
Giving’s a way of living life.
Nothing in return, no pleas or demands.
Giving’s the art of sacrifice.

Love of life must hold sway.
Giving’s the light holding darkness at bay.
A metaphor for hope and love.

Although I’m known as sacrifice.
I’m a humble man, my name Johnny will suffice.
Giving towards a better tomorrow.
Nothing in return, no pleas or demands.
Giving’s a form of utter humility.

Love of life must hold sway.
Giving’s the light holding darkness at bay.
A metaphor for hope and love.

Some I have framed with my love of life.
Hiding my heart’s hurt and strife.
I’ve given much away as focus to see.
For our collective future, yes, you and me.
Nothing in return, no pleas or demands.
Giving to serve with utter clarity.

Love of life must hold sway.
Giving’s the light holding darkness at bay.
A metaphor for hope and love.
