The world is often competitive, materialistic, without conscience, and violent.  Many seek to fill an inner void with an outward gathering of power and things.   When we see that it is our connection to each other that is important, it changes our perspective on everything.

 

 

SWEET YOUTH

 

Jordan Loraine,

Light of my life,

In Sunshine and rain,

In a world of strife,

Where money reigns,

Power's a wife,

And wise men strain

To understand.

Delicate flower,

Sweetness of youth,

Soften the blow

And soothe the brow

Of he who would

Gain the whole world

But sacrifice

Himself and you.

Till the day comes

With sight anew

He embraces

The world and you.
