Emotions of love, friendship, and compassion
Understanding between the species
Respect of life mutually rationed
Dolphins, whales, apes, and humans
Communication among thinking brains
Maybe, just maybe someday
We’ll know each other by names
From Father Heaven
And Mother Earth
We’re all born of love
Custodians of heavenly work
A universal language
Written in the pages of love
They say, “What goes around, comes around”
Remember watchful stars above
We belong to the Earth
Not it to us
Life here is a gift
Must we argue and fuss?
There’s a life-force in everything
The steady tick of the clock
Like the heartbeat of time
Even between a tree and rock
Compassion for all things
Love grows from many pieces
A glorious day it’ll be
Empathy among the species
