The True Essence of Love
Love holds no tally of wrongs, It is neither a burden nor a mistake. Love, if it doesn’t spread, is unworthy of celebration. Love, if it doesn’t give, is unworthy of imitation. Love is freedom. Love is joy. Cherish the gift of love— Not for selfish gain, But for the greater good.

Valentine’s Day: A Hymn to Love Unspoiled
By: Naa Doodua Doodu A day to share, a day to dare— Not gilded roses, perfumed air, But love untainted, pure and spare, A lantern’s glow in shadows bare. The beggar’s palm, the orphan’s plea, The silent ache of souls unseen— These are the hearts we’re called to see, To kneel and serve, not just […]
