an unknown planet
where life does exist….
a butterfly in winter,
the Red Sea divided.
the mother of God
at the community center!
heal the sick!
help the poor!
stop all wars!
set free all those
imprisoned wrongly!
house the homeless!
be a father/mother
to the orphaned child….
stand arm to arm
in the face of prejudice….
all this, and more…
and i still cant touch
your heart….
