Be Curious
Feelings of love,
A balcony high above,
Houses that dignify
And defy gravity
Practicing honest sincerity
Life lessons
Beyond compare
With the freshness
Of breathing air
A globe and a rose
Doing much more
Than anyone knows,
And that is how
The story goes,
So live in a way
To make the most of today
While respecting
An accomplished playwright
Without ever being afraid
Of doing anything right
