When someone touches your life ...

The heavens in a dew drop,
Eternity in an hour.
The world on my palm,
The rainbow in a flower.

A smile that spreads on a baby's face,
The eyes that once held mine.
The warmth on a winters day,
The stars that showed me a sign.

He taught me what love could mean,
He asked me to give life a chance.
He left before I could hold his finger,
but he taught me to love life at first glance.

The innocence in a child's eyes,
makes me wonder,
How could one being hurt another,
How could they loot and plunder ?

For a knife isn't the only blade,
that could tear open one's heart.
Words and deeds sometimes,
can tear someone's world apart.

If love could have been this earth,
then the whole universe would I have given.
Memories are what now smile at me,
and I smile back, the world forgiven.
