Where Do I See Love?

I see love in a mother, singing lullaby to her child Every night and day of mother's busy life. I see love in lovers, holding each other's hand And looking at each other - deep into their eyes. I see love in every child, secure at the touch and care Of the adults around her by her own mom and dad And by the circle in a family life with uncles, aunties, Grandparents and the presence of friends and relatives. I see love in brother and sister, sharing their food and toys, Also offering them to strangers who knock at their door. I see love in every worker, pretty much engrossed to execute And finish the plan of the day with joy in heart and mind. I see love in every student, burning the midnight candle Seeking to understand and study with great passion I see love in every teacher, guiding students To be the best in their chosen professions. I see love in every family and individual Opening their heart and home to foreigners I see love in every nation, opting to live in peace and justice among peoples in spite of utter differences. ____________ May 2018(during the trip to Germany via train) Elizabeth Padillo Olesen
