A lonely voice is crying out
Do you hear it?
Or are your ears deaf to the sound
of people who are in need

A beautiful face appears
They have tears in their eyes
Do you offer comfort?
Or do you turn away

You feel a tap on your shoulder
You turn around to find a person
Pleading for help and direction
Do you turn away?

What are we here for
If not present for each other
How can life sustain itself
Without compassion and kindness
… and love

You have my back
I have yours
If you carry a heavy load
I’ll share the weight

All I know now
All I’ll ever be
Is connected with you
We are One
