Can't Live Without


Amor

J'aime

Quiero

I need one thing and one thing only

that is to walk slowly

through the forest and over the river

no

through the river and yet not shiver

 

I need to read a book with the many musics

of little ones giggling as another one picks

the character they want to be

 

Now I've said too much 

and yet not enough

because the one thing I love

is love.

 

Love is overused

it's cruel to abuse

one word that can cure the world

if only people could see and share the changes it brings

 

Love. 

Want the joy of others

Love.

Want the change

 

Love. 

Be the joy for others

Love.

Be the one to change
