The lamp shines on you
whether you are kind
or cranky.
The rose spreads its
fragrance to all.
The sun shines on
saints and sinners alike…
The sun isn’t looking for praise
or the rain for
applause…
The tree gives shade
even if there’s no one to receive it…
These
things, like love…simply are,
regardless of whether someone
will benefit from
them or not.
