Love Poem: Superficial Seeing, Superficial Living

Superficial Seeing, Superficial Living

I look at people everyday,
And I never see them. 
Most of them. 
Sometimes when I'm alone
I wonder, where these people flow. 
I can only remember faces at times. 
Beings in motion. 
But they're so much more.
They're more than their names,
their color, and their looks.
They have stories that I'll never know. 
A doctor with depression,
A homeless father,
A pregnant waitress, 
A loving thief.
They're all people I may see everyday. 
A cashier, could it be the future president?
A barren teacher, a heartless couselor.
You'll never know. 
They could be dying. 
Yes, that person that seems
So happy everyday. 
Be kind always. 
You could be shaking the hand of God. 
Hug someone. 
Love someone.
Carry somebody's books just because.
Tell someone you are,
Help a stranger.
Smile.
Share your candy.
Take nothing for granted. 
Cherish every moment with people.
Laugh. 
Share your life with someone.
For life isn't easy, and we're all
Taking it day by day.
But we must take it together.
So that our lives are better fulfilled.
