P.O.E.T.R.Y . L.O.U.N.G.E


I am happy because you live


I am happy because the sun shines,
I am happy because it rains,
I am happy because the other person is how he is,
I am happy because flowers bloom in the gardens I have seen,
And in the forests I haven't seen,
It does not matter whether I look at them or not,
I am happy that they are.
I am happy because right now

some people are walking on the street,
some people are working somewhere,

some children are playing in some country,
Someone is buying new clothes from a clothshop in distant China,
Some kids are romping and whistling

in some school in some country.
A salesman is negotiating somewhere in US,
A shop boy is placing the newly-ordered books

in his book store in some city in Australia,
It does not matter whether I look at them or not,
I am happy that they are.
There are forests in the world,

some I know and some I have not seen,
There are various plants, ferns, animals, birds in those forests,
some I know some I have not seen,
It does not matter any way, I am happy that they live.
I am happy that the oceans are flowing,

I am happy that clouds form rain.
I am happy that tomorrow will be a new day.

I do not want to manipulate anybody,
I am happy that things are the way they are.
