She is invisible

in today’s world.

Not many people are able to see her

bright warm eyes.

Some believe she wears a sweet smile,

Over sharpened teeth.

Some see her as frail and weak.

She would be an easy target in this cruel, man-made jungle.

 

If you truly are her friend,

You will feel a loving embrace

Instead of a knife in your back.

You will feel her satin hands

Wipe away the tears on your face.

You will see her golden eyes

Uncover the treasure hidden in your thoughts.

 

She will teach you how to stitch up another’s heart.

And rebuild a village torn down by sorrow.

She will give you the blueprints for a better world.

She will show you the beauty of walking in another’s shoes.
