This Is What We Do

We go day to day Thinking.

Addressing, speaking.

Anything we believe,

We know we can achieve.

The world around us passes,

And we look on.

We go day to day Wondering.

Finding, pondering.

The things that we find,

Are never left behind.

As the world around us changes,

We stand firm.

We go day to day Dreaming.

Hoping, bringing.

The light that we shine

Illuminates the minds

Of the people in

The world around us.

We go day to day Growing

Planting, sowing.

We assist the weak

Who struggle to speak

In a world around us

That is much too loud.

We go day to day Smiling.

Trying, winding.

The cogs that turn on

In the gears far beyond

The world around us

That spins too fast.

We go day to day Hearing.

Standing, nearing.

Our hearts listen for

The tear drop on the floor.

The world around us cries,

But we can help.

We go day to day Living.

Soothing, giving.

Our parents taught us

Now we will teach them,

The world around us has

Innumerable Gems.

We go day to day Knowing.

Teaching, flowing.

Experiences we've had

To help others avoid the bad

In a world around us

Where the black turns to grey.

We Think,

We Wonder,

We Dream,

We Grow.

We Smile,

We Hear,

We Live,

We Know.

This Is What We Do.
