(dedicated to Ms. Oprah Winfrey)
it's about feeling
it's about studying
it's about knowing
it's about empathy
it's around us
it's beside us
it's behind us
it's near us
all about love
all about emotion
all about affection
all about understanding
no one
will be
sad
after help
no one
will be
poor
after donate
no one
will be
sick
after support
look at
cheerish
faces
of homeless men
feel into
innocence
eyes
of hunger children
listen to
thankful
voices
of polluted nature
who love
who live in this earth
will be love very much
by who live in the sky
who care
who seek food in this world
will be care very much
by who live in the heaven
deliver God's gift
to other and nature
deliver God's love
to other and nature
then you will find
richness
then you will find
happiness
then you will find
togetherness
then you will not find
regretful
(inspired by Pierre-Auguste Renoir's On the Terrace)
