Who am I ?

Don't care for hate or envy, they take my energy away,

Can't abide intolerance, I am sure that we are all equal.

Try not to hurt people or animals, I'll help when I can,

Ache to see you smile and succeed, so that I can smile too.

Listen to what you have to say, even when you scream or shout,

I am not immune to not being heard, and often misunderstood.

Don't care how you dress, how much money you have,

What music you listen to, or food you eat, how you express your faith.

A woman, a man, makes no odds both just as impressive,

They are equally capable of winning a hard challenge.

Whether I see you once a year or everyday you're still my friend,

Won't talk behind your back, or take your reputation for my own.

Learn from your mistakes, don't bring them along for the ride,

treat others well no matter what they've said and done.

Spread no nasty rumours, or talk behind others backs,

Protect each other or be prepared to pay a big price

Pray to stop wars, cure diseases, feed the world, stop poverty,

Home those on the streets, don't judge till you have tried that.

Lets all work together, give each one of us a chance to shine,

And teach and encourage them to be the best that they can be.

We are all one family, fragile and mortal at the end of the day,

Don't waste mother earth and the things that she gave away.

There is a thing we all need today, not an instant cure, but a hope,

If you can be who I am too, there's plenty for all, for I am love.
