People

People

The world is nothing without people
People are the sugar that makes the world sweet
My mother is the honey
That makes my life so sweet
My father is the mirror
That helps me to see who I am
My brothers and sisters help me to stand
My society teaches me to be strong

I am nothing without people
I am not an island that stands alone
When I fall
It is people that pull me up
When I call
It is people that answer me

The food I eat is planted by people
They are called the farmers
The tailors cover me with beautiful clothes
And make me look like a butterfly
The hairdresser makes me beautiful
Whenever I am sick,
it is the doctor that treats me
And in the classroom,
My teachers help me to learn
And become useful in life

When I become great in life,
How can I forget what people have done for me?
I will surely give back
To the people that made me strong
I will nor forget to put smiles on your face
I am who I am today
Because of the people I have in my life.
