New Commandment

There was only one, only one

Since his time begun there was only one

For us to follow, it came from the son

We follow his teachings until kingdom come



Love one another as I have loved you

Please be true, these lines he drew

Observed by most and betrayed by few

The followers grew, of this wise young Jew



The expression’s not hard, sometimes it is marred

We all need to be aware and to be on our guard

To enter the kingdom we must we must walk the long yard

Or we will be barred. Forever be scarred



Love one another. Love your sister and brother

Show respect and love to your father and mother

It is simple to say now lets all try to cover

All that is required to be disciples God and no other



This new commandment replaces the ten

He told all women and men. Do this and then

Heavens gates will be welcome and forever open

Love as I have loved you in my name Amen






Author's Notes/Comments: 

Love one another as I have loved you seems to be a creed, a motto and an aspiration that we can all look to find in our lives.

Isn't it the truth? If you do that one thing there won't ever be a time when you can break any of the others. You should read my "Love Thy Neighbor As Thyself". We have similar ideas, My friend.
