LOVE IS ALWAYS BESTOWED AS A GIFT--FREELY, WILLINGLY, AND WITHOUT EXPECTATION. WE DON'T LOVE TO BE LOVED: WE LOVE TO LOVE.
Leo Buscaglia, American Writer
JUST HOW HIGH
CAN THE HUMAN HEART RISE
IN A WORLD SO FULL OF UNCARING EYES
WHERE ANIMALS SUFFER AND CHILDREN DIE
AND PEOPLE FIGHT WARS WITHOUT KNOWING WHY
WHERE ALCOHOL AND DRUGS CAUSE WASTED LIVES
AND SHELTERS ARE FULL OF UNWED MOTHERS AND BATTERED WIVES
BUT SHOULD THE DAY COME THAT MAN LEARNS TO CARE
AND NO LONGER WANTS JUST TO TAKE BUT ALSO TO SHARE
AND HE LEARNS THAT EVERYTHING HAS THE RIGHT TO LIVE
AND THAT LIFE IS SOMETHING HE CAN TAKE BUT CAN NOT GIVE
WHEN HE LEARNS TO APPROACH LIFE WITH A HEART FULL OF LOVE
FOR EVERTHING ON EARTH AND IN THE HEAVENS ABOVE
WHEN HE LEARNS TO DO THESE THINGS
HE WILL HAVE OPENED THE DOOR
TO KNOWING JUST HOW HIGH
THE HUMAN HEART CAN SOAR
