all of life is sacred



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
