The drop of a tear.
The shudder of fear.
With the touch of a smile,
we can shorten someone’s darkest mile.

Reach out, feel someone’s pain.
Flood their soul with kindness again.
Absorb the full sense of their plight.
Guide them, help them find the Light.

The world is full of ignorance and hatred,
and of those things it must be shed.
From the love of life grows respect.
With this in our hearts, serenity we surely can expect.

To truly give of ourselves is our greatest gift.
The heaviest of burdens we can help lift.
Let us give freely of our collective heart.
Help give this world a fresh start.
