Analysis of all of life is sacred
mahkokhan 1953 (Essex)
all of life is sacred
all our life we live
how we treat each other
and what love we give
each of us is special
unique in every way
dear to us is spirit
each and every day
holy is our nature
peace is our desire
love is the true spirit
burning inner fire
temporal is our body
a gift we must treasure
for when it's time to move on
it is at spirits' leisure
