I think a line from the poem would be perfect, and here's an example;One could not count the moons that shimmer on her roofsAnd the thousand splendid suns that hide behind her wallsHere's the poem in its entirety, but if this isn't what you're looking for, you could look at The Prophet, by Kahlil Gibran, which has many little chapters on life, love, children, war, and several others. Good luck with your essay! Here's the poem;Kabul - oldpoetry.com/opoem/28283-Mirza-Muhammed-Ali-Saib-Kabul
