LOVE GROWS EVERYWHERE
I plant love seeds, sunflowers’ wholesomeness
orange trees of hope, seeds of compassion
peace I plant in my heart
I plant seeds of happiness
in countless fields of my mind
I plant seeds of togetherness
between people
I plant seeds of friendship
on continents, among nations
seeds of human understanding
I plant seeds of strong will
to grow mornings of humaneness and unity
to increase the freshness of days, happy years
seasons of fruitful centuries
I plant biological love seeds
in the desert years of the past
II
We plant brotherhood
and sisterhood in our heart
We plant in the Mediterranean lake
miracle seeds to nurture
friendship in all continents
We plant in nuclear power stations good will
to change their toxicity
into alternative energy for humanity
We plant prayers high on the mountains
in lakes and rivers, in oceans, we seed goodness
Night and day flowers I plant from my heart
to your heart
days with blessings and goodness
we plant, Light to grow in our hearts
with Love
