People live together
but do we know them well
or are we just assuming we do
appearing it is not that true

People work together
but do we know them well
if someone needs our care
are we truly willing to share

People believe together
but do we know them well
brotherhood is what should be
but holy wars is all we see

People talk together
but do we know them well
do we listen in such a way
that we hear what they've to say

Maybe if we could stop to be
less superficial we would see
that although we thought we knew
we really haven't the faintest clue

We should really take more care
We should really try more to share
Cause if we really think it's worth
We have a chance to a peaceful earth

So true Titia, most people aren't close. People need to reach out more often and give this human stuff a chance.

Throw your heart out in front of you
And run out to catch it.

Hi Titia,

One who looks pass the outer shell finds the true meaning of life, love and happiness, wonderful wisdom shining through in this beauty, so very much enjoyed.

Love, Cerenity

It is a busy world out there and I'll bet when the shadows are long and we look back we will see this importance.
