MANY FRIENDS
I’ve had many friends in my life who were older…who turned grey
We haven’t always seen eye to eye…but we love each other anyway.
I’ve had many friends in my life…who have different ways tor pray
Their God has not always been my God…but we love each other anyway.
I’ve had many friends in my life…who are lesbian…or gay
Who don’t love the way that I love…but we love each other anyway.
I’ve had many friends….I don’t always understand every word they say
and others who’s skin color is not my skin color…but we love each other anyway.
I’ve reached the point in my life where I’m the old one who’s turned grey
and I wonder how,
over the years
despite our differences,
we’ve all loved each other anyway…
Could it be that love looks beyonds our differences
beyond what asymmetry tears some of us apart
and instead has found a way to look straight into our hearts…
Perhaps love knows when we look beyond our different faiths,
our different colors,
our different preferences…
our different names
When we see inside another person
all hearts look the same.
