Everyone Can Love Poem by Ulysses Cabinatan

Not everyone can write a lovely poem,
sing in tune,
create an angel out from a marble,
sculpt a statue,
paint a work of art,
or plays the violin or the piano,
but everyone can love.

Not everyone can see the beauty of nature
hear the melodies of pastorale
read the works of a genius
but everyone can love

Not everyone can appreciate
the glorious days of Rome or Greece,
or visit the pyramids of Mexico or Egypt,
or go to Machu Pichu,
or trek the Himalayas,
but everyone can love

Not everyone can cruise the Mediterranean,
or enjoy the breeze of Caribbean,
or travel a neighboring island,
or on a warmth shore basking in the sun,
but everyone can love

Not all of us can be a King, Queen, Prince or a Princess,
or hold an office of a Prime Minister or President,
or even take a foot to a palace of a Sheikh,
but everyone of us can love,
as long as we can recognize the greatness of
the humble and the ordinary existence
and share to others our joy, our pleasure and happiness
