Beauty!

Beauty, behold,I am envious.

Yes, you!

I saw, when a baby smiled

I felt, in a mothers love           

I heard , in a father’s words                      

I had , in the hug of a brother

In the friendships around

And, in the trust of a lover or spouse

Beauty, if only , we could see

In the triumph of our enemy.

In the midst of failure.

In the eyes of a stranger.

In the ways of another

In the lives of our neighbour

Beauty, if we truly saw, beneath everything.

There would be boundaries but no wars

There would be colours but  only oneness

There would be religions but spirituality will reign.

There would be genders but be treated  equals

There would be differences but unified in action

There would be bad ,but good will remain.

Yes, I would be you and you would be me.

And GOD, if you do believe, will rest.

Let me be.

I was once a baby

Oh,Baby boy, its time for blue.

Oh, Baby girl, its time for pink.

I said let me be.

Around me , they said

A girl I am,

Liked Football a lot,dancing a little less,

More shorts,not really skirts.

A boy I was

Liked the teddies, soft or hard

Cried a lot, tears or none.

I said let me be.

Dreamt to be actor or singer

A designer or farmer

Even doctor or engineer

It not matter,

At work, am happy .

So,I said let me be.

A lover that I am

Loved a man , woman, both or neither

Does it matter!

Love is all that is.

Married now or never

Is it different?

True to any relationship if one can be.

Children ,bundles of joy, a choice

Mine or yours

Irrelevant , as happiness if it exists.

So I said let me be.

Let me choose, dream, want and live

Let me cry, laugh and do it all

I am here, now and then gone

So, just let me be.
