Meet Will Galzerano, a new creative member of the Valentino team here in Santa Barbara! His focus is creating content that is based on the Valentino mission to “spread love everywhere you go.” Through creating artistic imagery, Will invites us to get to know and understand Valentino through his point of view.
He’s a gifted poet and has a feel for articulating the times we live in/the essence of the human experience. Here’s a beautiful example of his heart-felt words. Will shared that the inspiration behind this poem was an image I took of a beautiful cloud which I posted to social media. Poetry to me is such a beautiful opportunity for self expression.
Do you like poetry? Do you enjoy writing your own poems? If you’ve written a poem that can inspire others through positivity, please share it with us here. We want to interactively engage more with our followers, so please let us know what is meaningful to you. In turn, with your permission, we’ll share your contribution with our community. This is a great way to spread the love, which is Valentino The Love Bunny’s mission.
Also, don’t forget to look up! To the sky, the clouds, the sun, the stars and the moon. All beautiful gifts to behold.
Love,
Margarita

HUMANITY
Are you Woke or Maga, they say?
But truly, the difference is just a play,
The human problem hides beneath,
And Love, for all, brings much relief.
By their fruits you'll know their ways,
A simple truth that we all should praise,
For love and understanding, juicy fruits,
Are what we need to heal and reboot.
Love is the key, we know it's true,
But without forgiveness, what can we do?
It's like an apple pie without ice cream,
The missing piece, the necessary dream.
Loving yourself is where it starts,
Be proud of your walk and your heart,
But remember too, humility is key,
Thinking less of yourself, sets you free.
Hate is rampant, it's everywhere,
The only safe place, is in your care,
Do your best, live sustainably,
And don't take from humanity.
Let love guide you, let it shine,
Forgive those who wronged you, it’s fine.
Love, love, love, let it be your way,
For tomorrow is another day.
