Life

It's everywhere around us,
In our homes and towns,
The schools, the stores,
The banks, the playgrounds.

It's learning to laugh,
It's learning to cry.
It's saying hello,
And saying goodbye.

It's finding love,
In the hardest of times,
It's standing out,
In the days of crime.

It's in the eyes of everyone,
Big and small.
It's giving thanks,
And following protocol.

It's finding friends,
Going beyond and above.
It's sticking up,
For those you love.
