He She and They
How cruel is this world they laugh at me for being different
They bully me because I am not one of them
They berate me they humiliate me
But why? Aren’t we all the same
Aren’t we all humans? But then why do they do that
I turn my back on the world
I try to run,but they chase me
And desperate to escape, I try to disappear
And when I was on the edge of life, he found me
He smiled at me and for the first time I felt hope
He held his hand for me and I took it
He was not one for many words but he didn’t need to be
He is that sort around whom kindness radiates, love glows
He walked me to his home and there she was
with beauty, grace and elegance
without a second thought she took me in as I was her own
And at that moment I knew that I was not alone whatever happens they will be there for me.
When I was happy he too was, when I was sad she would be gloom all day
When I would cry she would weep for me
And when people hurt me she took her wrath on them,
Destroyed them without a trace, swallowed everyone who were mean to me
With her glowing eyes she would burn anyone who would humiliate me
He shot anyone who threatened me
He would sacrifice himself for me if that would help me,
they were there for me as escorts, as friends, as guardians
when I was sad, they sang to me and their symphony was beautiful
when i was scared, at night they were there with their everlasting light
showing me the way, they would never leave even when in danger
they never talk too much, they never talked
but aren’t actions more louder than words?
and the way they act, they did not need words
and how can someone love and care without expecting anything in return?
They were not my kind, my species, my race
How could they understand me so perfectly when my own people did not?
So who are they? Who is the he? Who is the she?
He is the tree, the sun, the mountains, the hills,
the ground, the sand, the soil, the wind
She is the water, the rain, the sky, the flower, the leaf,
the fire, the snow, the moon, the stars
Yes they are nature all around us
They don’t see race, color or country
They see people, they see emotions they see love
They not only help me but everybody all around the world
They are the life
They lived before us, with us, for us, and after us
They heal everyone, love everyone and live with everyone
They protect and care for us
So when someone does so much for us
Shouldn’t we love care and protect them back?
