The World
The world needs the people, to sow and to reap
The world needs the surface, the world needs the deep
The world needs protection, and caring, and love
The world needs the olive branch, the world needs the dove
The world needs itself to carry its chores,
The world needs the fields and the world needs the moors
The world needs the sunlight-its rays are alive
And under its rule it will wallow and thrive
The world needs its joy, and the world needs its grief
The world needs the tree, and the world needs its leaf
The world is a mirror, the world is a fawn
The world is an oyster, the world is the dawn
The world’s never ending, and end never will,
And ten decades on, it will be stronger still.
Diana Yazovskaya,2009
