Greatest motivator

Was just reading, or in a way re-reading this as i was cleaning up my com. And yeah. i found in kinda nice which kinda set me thinking of the 'greatest motivator'. For i believe and heard somewhere once that there are two greatest motivators for everyone, that of love, and that of fear, and yeah. so i kinda present the other side of the story.

Love
the greatest motivator
burning from within
strengthening from without.

Love
That of the infant child
identifying his mother
right after birth in a bath
of blood.

Love
One of the anxious mother
as she waits at the dinner table
for the daughter
that would return to her.

Love
That of the newly in love
tugging at the first strands
of affection that
lead their way.

Love
In the presence of danger pure
steeling the heart,
the mind, the soul
yes strenghtening from
without.

Love
That of the homeless poor
and destitute
holding each other, hoping
for a better form
of life.

Love
One of the servant
to his Lord
obeying every command
abstaining from every wrong
in the hope of a better
life with his master.

Love
Of the soldier
urging the body
of a fellow comrade
dodging bullets, grenades
and death,
immune to pain
in his heart
or holes

in his chest.

And Love
The greatest of motivators
giving strength
to the hopeless
From where love is born

so too will courage,
hope and strength.

The child that cries,
the mother that hopes,
the lover that waits,
the hunted that fights,
the destitute that earns,
the believer that prays,
and the soldier,
the soldier,
the soldier that is me.
