What
the world needs now is love. What the world needs now is you.
But what is love? Not so easy to define. Review in your mind
all the possible human attributes that give you hope... add to
your joy... inspire you to think, to be creative, to give
thanks, to offer a helping hand, to tell the truth, to do
something right, to try harder, to share what you know, to be
willing to learn or to teach, to express yourself, to have
compassion, make peace, be vulnerable, stay true, be
thoughtful, and brave… Complete this list, then add them all
up, divide by three, multiply by seven, close your eyes, pick
any one or three and you will be thinking about love.
Everything on your list will be something you can do or be.
You love. This is you. Why do you hide or pretend it is not?
You’re so funny. You’re so beautiful. Don’t you know
that? I’m starting to get old now. And in many ways I’m
still a child. Don’t you feel that way sometimes? How long
it took to even begin to understand how little I really
know… But some things I do know. I know you’re beautiful.
The world needs us now. Our children do. All our children do.
'What the world needs now is love, sweet love.' That’s what
I’ve been thinking of…
