Even if there is no one-
to show you love
Even if there is no one-
to show you concern
Even if there is no one-
to show you kindness
Even if there is no one-
to show you their divinity
NO ONE
No near or dear one
YOU don't miss out on it
all these will reach you-
from somewhere..
from some one...someplace
IN THIS GRAND LIFE OF OUR'S.

ON THE CONTRARY
If you choose to shut yourself off
if you choose to pretend that-
you don't possess any of these-
which many of us do...
WE MISS OUT ON THIS GRAND LIFE
whatever or whoever we may be
