Maybe it's true
we just want to see each other grow
to recognize the road less traveled
and listen to that intuition
that ignites our soul
to create our own story
and like a love note-
we unfold;
like the hibiscus in bloom
on a sunny Tuesday afternoon
with our tea in hand
the love of a real good man
by our side
from sunrise
to the depths of night.
And what we must remember
is how we've stayed true
to the most beautiful part
of what lives within people
like me and you-
a simple truth
and the utmost understanding
that love is being
and believing
that one could make a change;
to be a ripple that causes a wave
to a stranger
with a wide smile on our face
as we face our reality
with genuinity*
each and every day.
