A Sister, a Brother

A sister, a brother,
          We all need each other.
          Differences stir,
          But love will endure.
          The wheat or the stubble,
          We each have our trouble,
          But this is a place,
          Where we'll reach out with grace.
          We're hurt through divides,
          Storms roll with the tides,
          But what is the litmus of true family?
          Forgiveness and love and continuity.
          So glad to see you are here in this group!
          It takes many flavors to make poetry soup!

In a large group, there can be differences of opinion and the resultant divide. But forgiveness and love enable continuity. Great thoughts dear BJ
