Sweeter Than Sugar

SWEETER THAN SUGAR

Sorrows
that only love
can heal

Healing 
bridge broken hearts 
to live

Live free
on blows of joys
and see

Seeing
carefree children
on play

Playful
they run around
all day


Each day
like champagne taste
Delight!

Lighting
the dark, dark world
to grow!

Growing
to bear some fruits
so sweet...

Sweeter
than the sugar
I love.

Lovely,
I long to dream
success

Succeed
despite all odds
to share

Sharing
true love and care
World peace!
