How can one cry, complain
When the world is so beautiful
Its trees, its grass, its flowers
Its beating heart and flourishing soul?

How can one drown in fear and tears
When every fork in the road
Has a path of love
And not hate?

How can one hate oneself
When the beauty and joy of a being
The incredible, creature, alive to its fullest,
Is so brave, so strong, so unique?
