I, Me and We

When I and me become we
and times threaten reverse.
When we stay the course
in opposition to today's prevail
of the self serving I with no remorse.
We can raise the standard 
and then the cup on high
for we have thwarted the arrogant I.
Having done so we are rewarded 
with a depth of understanding
and the wonder of a greater WE.

Ello Arry so kind of you to stop by. So glad that you like this piece since it was the reading of one of your poems that gave me the idea except that I can't remember which one it was. Thanks Love TLee
