What the World Needs Now
This world needs more love.
There's not enough respect,
Not enough empathy,
Not enough love.
People fear and hate
Without knowing.
This world needs more love.
People judge and incite
Without insight.
This world needs more love.
It starts in our homes.
Kids need more than screens.

They need to be told they are loved,

It continues in our schools.
Students need stories, smiles, hugs.
They need to be told they are loved,
And that they should love others.
Tell someone, "I love you" today.
This world needs more love.
