It's like…
Brightening up someone's otherwise bleak day,
And never forgetting to take the time to pray.
It's like…
Giving someone else the opportunity to show their uniqueness,
And realizing that we all are gifted and extremely blessed.
It's like…
Knowing where to put your faith and trust,
Then passing that knowledge along to someone when times are rough.

It's not like…
Turning your kids over to a TV or a computer,
And leaving it up to those devices to decide their futures.
It's not like…
Bragging about how intelligent and wonderful you are,
Or placing yourself high and as heavenly as a star.
It's not like…
Making an appointment to spend time with your family,
Or saying, honey… kids… wait until tomorrow and then I'll see.

It is like…
Allowing yourself to decrease your status just a little,
And showing someone that you're a down to earth brotha or sistah.
It is like…
Taking the time to feed someone a little spiritual food,
To make them feel good and brighten up their mood.
It is like…
Never thinking that your time is exclusively yours,
But always taking care to open your heart's door.

I don't mean to…
Baffle you or cause you to be confused,
Or make you wonder if you've been the user or the one being used.
I do ask that you…
Go back and rethink all that I've said,
It's not impossible you know… when you shrink that big head.
Ask yourself…
Can I sacrifice all of my material things?
And become a positive force in the life a human being.
Ask yourself…
Can I do something from the heart just out of pure love?
You really can you know, because… Love is… what Love… does.
