Differences

f this is your thought 
Or your belief 
My opinion nor conviction 
I shall not bequeath 

We are each made different 
His intention to be
Your thoughts,  my thoughts
Are different you see

To force my thoughts 
Or make you see
With thine own eyes
shall never be

So few words, such great meaning 
That age old saying still true
Agree to disagree
That’s all we need to do

Unity is comprised 
same thoughts or beliefs
Amongst comfort of many
It’s such a relief 

For this beautiful world
It could be so grande
Respect our differences 
United we’d stand 

Opinions are great 
Each have our belief 
Force ours onto others
Breeds resentment and grief

For my convictions 
I hold them strong 
If yours aren’t the same
Doesn’t mean we are wrong

Open your heart
Have open mind 
Do not force yours
I not force mine

Try it once
Its somewhere to start
Still are the lips
Full is the heart

Now we’ve learned 
One important lesson
For all who are near
A lasting impression 

I know and you know
What we should do
Agree to disagree 
My challenge to you
