Sad Faces

Everywhere I travel
I see sad faces.

Why?

It is because we have not known
The sweetness, the nearness, the love
That the Friend has for us.

We have been sold the illusion
That we are separate from God,
Separate from each other.

If -

We could just realize
That we are all related to each other
As children of the same creator.
We would all be in love.
We would all be hugging each other
Each time we meet.

Gone would be the sad faces -
Replaced by smiles
Of love, bliss, and happiness.

And, what's more -

There would be lasting
Peace in the world.
