Devotion

See the world that is all around you,
                                                 the land , the sky and the oceans too.
                                                 hear the hum of cars and children play,
                                                 sound of music that wont go away;
                                                 taste all the food you have to eat,
                                                 some is great and a wonderful treat;
                                                 feel the gentleness that only love brings,
                                                 feel the kisses and other loving things;
                                                 know that your pain will all go away,
                                                 if you have love in your heart today;
                                                 entwine your heart with another heart,
                                                 feel them heal together to never part;
                                                 know that love is the greatest emotion,
                                                 serve it always with gentle devotion.

This is a very nice sentiment. Alas that so often such good advice is impractical!
