Life is a journey of differences

Our lives may be parallel but
our personalities and attitudes
are quite different.
we have both been successful in
what we do, but have used
methods that suited our journeys.
you do what you do that best suits you,
I am what I am for what defines me.
we do not need to clash with 
our differences in our experiences,
we can share the satisfaction of
our achievements. 
if we can learn to live with our
mutual sense of happiness and well
being, there is much joy to be spread.
So when we meet, let us have a consensus
of opinion, based on mutual respect,
so we can have a meaningful dialogue,
where our bond is strengthened by 
understanding,
and our lives enriched by stability,
further journeys made easier,
that fill our spaces with peace,
we can still walk away with our
differences and attitudes.
Life is a successful field
if we learn to curb our wild instincts,
and learn to respect each other’s charms
and the need to keep our differences.
