To a better world

6-18-08 – Esmeraldas, Ecuador

To a better world

A father, a son, a love undone
And two small steps to the larger’s one
Hit the ground in perfect beat
Hand in hand they walk the street

He wants the best for his own boy
And gives a gift that fills his joy
A milkshake of peach and selflessness,
A lesson in life on how to bless

The ones you love and the world around
With acts of kindness that are not found
In the wealth of poverty of hearts of men
Witnesses, though, may flicker again

And from that light comes a healing thrust
Toward openness and renewed trust
That giving will profit and kindness will soothe
A blossoming world to a greater truth
