Wind,
Little twirling beings scattered around,
Reminiscing for a time,
A time where light prevailed,
Happiness and joy filled the land,
A balance… a sustenance upon each creature,
A smile as every action and motion, touch,
Was guided by a belief “for the benefit of all,”
Love was common among all,
An everyday commodity,
Looking only with eyes of acceptance, brotherhood, community…
Respect for every little thing that makes up this earth,
Every person, 
Every plant & flower,
Every being.
Acknowledging that there is no difference,
We all work together,
Hand in hand,
To create this blessing called Earth.
The only notion: “We are in this together.” 
What a beautiful day that will be,
Where we view the world through beauty,
Not how we think it should be…
What is wrong…
How it doesn’t fit our standards…
Instead how lovely, magnificent…interesting,
Life truly is,
Through eyes of gratefulness,
Always feeling blessed,
For every tree that gives us shade,
Every vegetable its nutrients,
Every flower its décor,
Every skill & talent an asset.
Thankful for all that we are given,
And all that we give.
What a beautiful day that will be…
When we realize how lucky,
How blessed we are,
Just to be alive,
Experiencing this amazing gift of living.

–Dedicated to the beautiful soul Nelson Mandela
