Maybe not once in a lifetime,
                                         but certainly not often
                                         Someone enters your life
                                         Or maybe enters your life is
                                         not the right expression,
                                         waltzes with you, opens your eyes,
                                         confronts you, questions and
                                         challenges you, inspires you,
                                         accepts you fully and completely,
                                         loves you.

                                                  And all the while the wind blows
                                 over this world,
     erases love, children,                         warps war everywhere
                           forgets the helpless,
                                                    dwarfs the powerless.
             It's too easy to hide,             turn your head away,
                        bury yourself
                                   in enjoyable pastimes

But tomorrow it is 
you, your house is gone
You are exiled, your children 
are hungry or killed...
Then what 
do you 
do?
?

                                           Maybe not once in a lifetime,
                               but certainly not often
                    Someone enters your life
               Someone who with gentle force opens your eyes,
           With beautiful lines, books and music.
             And perhaps that is painful
                   But remember this: it is because he
                            has a beautiful heart, he
                         wants the world to be a better place.
