Agreeing To Disagree
Let's agree to disagree
When differences arise
For every person has some traits
Which really might surprise.
To focus on the things we share
Is what we ought to do.
Relationships can last
When commonality's the glue.
We can't expect to be in sync
On every point in life,
So keeping quiet might be
One sure way to keep out strife.
But sometimes reaching out a bit
Seems like it's worth a shot.
It may convince or change some minds,
But also, it may not.
The bottom line, though, is to try
To not allow a rift
To develop in connections
Which have given us a lift.
