I see love in a mother, singing lullaby to her child
Every night and day of mother's busy life.
I see love in lovers, holding each other's hand
And looking at each other - deep into their eyes.
I see love in every child, secure at the touch and care
Of the adults around her by her own mom and dad
And by the circle in a family life with uncles, aunties,
Grandparents and the presence of friends and relatives.
I see love in brother and sister, sharing their food and toys,
Also offering them to strangers who knock at their door.
I see love in every worker, pretty much engrossed to execute
And finish the plan of the day with joy in heart and mind.
I see love in every student, burning the midnight candle
Seeking to understand and study with great passion
I see love in every teacher, guiding students
To be the best in their chosen professions.
I see love in every family and individual
Opening their heart and home to foreigners
I see love in every nation, opting to live in peace
and justice among peoples in spite of utter differences.
