In this world
Is love
Not money or power or fame
Money is numbers on a screen
Power is a corrupting force
Fame lasts 15 minutes
But love, that's real
When a mother feeds a baby at 3am
That's real
When a son keeps
Visiting his mother though
She doesn't remember his name
That's real
When a stranger helps someone change a tire
That's real
When the church brings food after surgery or death
That's real
When a teacher stays up late to grade papers
That's real
When the sun rises in the morning
And the rain waters the earth
That's real
When a traveling rabbi dies on a cross
For the sins of the world
That's real
That's REAL good!!
