Say It Plainly

What the World Needs Now

This world needs more love.

There's not enough respect,

Not enough empathy,

Not enough love.

People fear and hate

Without knowing.

This world needs more love.

People judge and incite

Without insight.

This world needs more love.

It starts in our homes.

Kids need more than screens.

They need stories, smiles, hugs.

They need to be told they are loved,

And that they should love others.

It continues in our schools.

Students need stories, smiles, hugs.

They need to be told they are loved,

And that they should love others.

Tell someone, "I love you" today.

This world needs more love.

Let Your Heart Burn (With Loving Kindness)
