Everyone's Own Peace

I give you my hand. I hold your hands.

I give you  my arms. I give you my shoulder to cry on.

I give you my heart. I give you understanding.

I smile for you, you smile too.

But if you still feel the darkness,

It is not enough.

It is not enough if you know that you are not alone,

If you still feel alone.

It is not enough if you know that you belong,

If you do not feel that you belong.

 I want to share with you my happiness,

I would share expansion and openness and radiating light.

I would share with you a fullness that comes not from physical nourishments,

Or accomplishments, but from giving love,

Unconditionally,

To the whole world.
