Life has taught me
The most wonderful thing about it is
All its treasures come free
* * *
Rocks and pebbles
Amazing stones
Mighty trees
Shining stars
Sky that shelters
The air we breathe
Hills and mountains
Shores and valleys
Rivers and seas
Sand and soil
Snow and rain
Clouds and breeze
Hands that feel
Hearts that dance
Joints and knees
Flowers and roses
Colours and shades
The eye that sees
Enchanting sounds
Humming birds
The ear that hears
Friends and family
Love and joy
The smile that heals
I also learned that
All its creatures… born free… born free
Why is the fight then?
Why oppress? why enslave?
When freedom is for ALL
And ALL is FREE
