The world is full of Love

The world is full of love
Go harvest the apples, tend to the trees,
learn how to mend a fence and jump over walls.
Polish your gold goblets and sing with the thrush at dawn.
Don’t take an axe to the ice, the very tips of your fingers will do.
And when the rain falls on your face, open your mouth and drink.
Know that the wind dries the clothes on your line
and potatoes are bulking in the dewy soil.
Any spare bread, bring to the square
or make crumbs for the bluetits and sparrows.
Make sure you always have tissues and teabags.
Wear your heart and your smile,
there will be a knock on your door.
