“Hearts In Me

If I look to the world with hearts in my eyes
Then surely I’ll be intrigued and inspired.

If I touch the world with hearts in my hands
Then surely I’ll learn how to understand.

If I listen to the world with hearts in my ears
Then surely I’ll truly be able to hear.

If I speak with the world with hearts in my mouth
Then surely I’ll be kind and gentle enough.

If I think of the world with hearts in my mind
Then surely I’ll be awake to all life.

If I reach for the world with hearts in my palms
Then surely its love will flow through my arms”
