I Got Kin (by 14th century Persian poet, Hafiz. Modernized by Daniel Ladinsky (oh so carefully to preserve the feeling of the heart):
Plant
So that your own heart
Will grow.
Love
So God will think,
"Ahhhhhh,
I got kin in that body!
I should start inviting that soul over
For coffee and
Rolls."
Sing
Because this is a food
Our starving world
Needs.
Laugh
Because that is the purest
Sound.
