Human Nature

A gesture, a hello, a goodbye
A glance, a chat, a meeting
An activity, a fun, a life
A person, a soul, a heart
A string, a rope, a magnet
How do we do it?
No one knows
Except for the creator 
Of course
How can we make it?
And live it
How can we be so attached?
Though it’s not fully ours
How do we get so attached to people?
How can we be so compassionate?
By a gesture, a hello, a goodbye
It has been the first meeting I say 
Fun and games
Activities we make
Pulls us to the person 
We want to know
A string, a rope
Drives us like magnet
To that person 
After we know that person
We never want him to go 
But a life experience
Makes us sacrifice for that person 
And that person only 
That the thought of him or her
Leaving us forever to meet the creator 
Establishes us with fear and sorrow
Why?
I do not really know
That is human nature
That is us
So how great God really made us?
To get attached 
To sacrifice
For people we barely know
But we forgot 
We always forget
That one day will be the day 
When you can’t be with the person you love
