It is because the world is so full of suffering,
that your happiness is a gift.
It is because the world is so full of poverty,
It is because the world is so full of poverty,
that your wealth is a gift.
It is because the world is so unfriendly,
It is because the world is so unfriendly,
that your smile is a gift.
It is because the world is so full of war,
It is because the world is so full of war,
that your peace of mind is a gift.
It is because the world is in such despair,
It is because the world is in such despair,
that your hope and optimism is a gift.
It is because the world is so afraid,
It is because the world is so afraid,
that your love is a gift.
