John Mudge Poet Couplet

All of One Kind

If I made a wish or
	If I wanted to pray
This is what I’d ask for.
	This is what I’d say:
Give us the seasons
	The flowers and trees and
		A song to share.
May we find peace
	And see what the other sees.
		We are all of one kind.


I’ll walk in your shoes.
	I’ll sing in your key.
Will you sing in mine and
	Will you walk with me?

When we’re afraid
	We stand on our own
But give me your arm
	And we won’t stand alone

As we work together
	I’ll try to trust you.
As we seek an answer
	Can you trust me too?

Oceans and mountains,
	Above us only sky.
The earth is where we live.
	We must share it, you and I.

Give us the seasons
	The flowers and trees and
		A song to share.
May we find peace
	And see what the other sees.
		We are all of one kind.

CayCay Godwin September 30, 2016 at 6:12 PM This is wonderful. I sang it in my head, but that means nothing because I'm tone deaf. I do though LOVE and enjoy music and lyrics. I can see this sung at church accompanied by guitars. It is simply beautiful and beautifully simple. CayCay John Mudge October 1, 2016 at 4:03 PM thank you for your wonderful comment. You have inspired me to re-create the music!
