The paradise within you

Do you know?
Being a little one, mercifully depended on your open and caring heart
His life, so fragile, so small
But his heart beat as steady as your own
Demanding his right to live.

Do you see him?
Amongst all your own trouble
The climate crises
And economic ruin
Do you see him?

Would you care enough
To engage
Would you dare to see
The suffering
Would you understand that
You matters?

No action is too small
no caring is insignificant

for this little kitten
you are the world
for this little bird
you are the paradise
for this little puppy
you are the best friend

Will you engage?
Daring the laughing reply from your friends?

Would you dare to care?
Open your heart to the wonders of the world?

I promise you
You’ll see
Corners of your heart and soul
That you never thought were possible

I promise you
The light you’ll experience
Will not blind you
Only enlighten you
