And the false perceptions we follow

Is what destroys us.

Our humanity.

We all harvest different values and beliefs

We all have different perspectives of the world

But when the sun comes down,

And the skies are painted with hues of red, yellows, and oranges

At the very last breath of the day,

We all share and work toward a common goal

Of preserving peace

And feeling unconditionally loved

Accepted.

Let us rejoice not in fear

But out of love

Let us feel and live the full colors of life

Let us come hand and hand

Heart and heart

To creating more of those temporary moments of

happiness

And one day,

Let us wake up to a world

A reality

Where we no longer have to fear

What tomorrow will bring

Because the tomorrow

We will live

Is a world, where we are able to travel freely, like birds gliding smoothly through the skies.

It is a world of love

And peace.

Let us live and cherish more of those moments.

And make the temporary become permanent.

After all, we are all humans.
