[Wish fellow North Americans, citizens of
Life is worth –
When my waste collectors
Shake hands, hug, as friend!
Mail deliverers wave hands
As passing by even without mail!
Cashiers at the grocery line smile
Happy to see once again for a little while!
Life is worth –
When neighbours knock on door to say Hi!
Vehicles stop for pedestrians without a sigh!
Politicians are thoughtful, truthful, and kind!
Universal care resonating in all human minds!
Life is worth –
When sun comes out in the morning
Bright in smog free blue sky!
Trees abound around welcoming standing high!
Birds are flying free in flocks or busy nesting!
Animals grazing playing mating without worries!
Life is worth –
When able bodied people are working happily
Without losing benefit and security!
Contracts getting renewed proactively!
People in need collecting welfare proudly!
Life is worth –
When world leaders are communicating!
No country is under attack or attacking!
No soldier away from home except peace-keeping!
Enjoying dinner knowing no one goes to bed hungry!
Sleeping at night assuring no homeless suffering!
Dreaming sweet dreams finally God is smiling!
