Look at us, how we live

what we do, where we go

we share and fight,

bring laughter and deep tears

into a velvet night.

And we take with us each a piece

of everyone we meet

for good or ill, we touch

for bitter, or for sweet.

We share or not as is our will,

and wonder how the other lives

and find more questions in each day

than our questing gives.

And each of us, we wish for peace,

Yearning in our dreams

to right the crooked path we see

to heal the shattered seams

that war's intolerance has left-

and nothing's like it seems.

Take tiny steps to med the hurt,

and answer if you dare

the wailing Earth needs all our will-

to choose, to love, to care.
