To make even one single person happy, <br /> To love her completely, to give her without restraint <br />All that you could if your were God himself; <br />Or to love, even a plant, an animal, <br />Any piece of life; to nurture it, <br />To care, to have tenderness for someone else; <br />Even to do this just once, fully and entirely, <br />Is to fulfill one's life and find heaven afterwards. <br /> <br />[From The Serene Flame]<br /><br />Makarand Paranjape<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/in-love-at-thirty/
