A family is love
That puts itself above
Everything else in this world.
...
I wonder as I look around
at all the beauty that I've found.
I've found it in the smallest places.
I've found it in the smiles on faces.
...
How can I know what I can't see?
It's never been a part of me.
How can I know what I can't hear?
...
When I see a tree cut down
whose life was not yet done
I look upon it with a frown
and then look at the sun.
...
Life is a game at which we play.
We make our moves on every day.
Some are right and some are wrong.
