This is the poetry page I have added to my site. I have not taken time to sit and write poetry, therefore, I am gracing my pages with poetry that has inspired me and touched my heart and soul, with "credit" given where it is due. Susan Polis Schutz wrote the poetry. She gives away her literature entitled: One World One Heart  to anyone who requests a copy. I requested some and got it in bulk. I have distributed some of it to my family members. I have tons left. So, if you feel you would like a copy of this booklet, email me and let me know. All I ask is you pay postage. Enjoy.
INTRODUCTION:

We all hear the same sounds. We look up and see
the same sky. We cry the same tears. Our feelings
and emotions are the same. All mothers are sisters.
All fathers are brothers. All children are one.

Yet there is hate. There is violence. There is
intolerance. There is confusion among people. We
don't try hard enough to understand each other.
We don't seem to realize that we all have the same
basic needs, no matter who we are or what part of the
world we come from.

We must understand the differences among us and
celebrate the sameness. We must make the world a
place where love and friendship dominate our hearts.
Equality, respect, compassion and kindness must guide our actions. Only then will we all be able to peacefully and lovingly live the life we each choose.
One Moon
One Sun
One World
One Heart

We need to feel more to understand others
We need to love more
to be loved back
We need to cry more
to cleanse ourselves
We need to laugh more
to enjoy ourselves

We need to be honest and fair when
interacting with people
We need to establish a strong ethical basis as a way
of life
We need to see more than our own fantasies
We need to hear more and listen to the needs of
others
We need to give more and own less
We need to realize the importance of the family as a
backbone to stability
We need to look more and realize that we are not so
diffeernt from one another

We need to create a world where we can trust one
another
We need to create a world where we can all
peacefully live the life we choose.

We all cry the same tears
tears of fright
tears of sadness
tears of loss
tears of frustration
tears of disappointment
tears of loneliness
Lands are flooded with our tears
We need one another's kindness, cooperation, trust
and respect to survive.

We must talk until there are no more words
We must explain until everything is understood
We must be honest until nothing is hidden
We must listen until everything has been said
We must question so that we know why
We must be fair so that everyone's basic needs are
met
If there is no communication
there will be no bond
If there is no bond
there will be no friendship
