What the world needs now,
is the kind of love that
pays attention and is
patient and
courageous and
acts selflessly.
Like when
a stranger sprints across
the road to push
a child in a pram
out of the way
of a falling branch.
The stranger ends up wounded,
but there’s a twinkle in their eye
because the child is safe.
That love began in the mirror.
What is it they say?
Love others
The way you
Love yourself?
The one depends on the other.
