Notes About The Poem

- Sibling of the Same Mother -

We must not take everything for granted
Freedom of speech, your voice
Poverty and war
ravages in large parts of the world

What is important to focus on
A dialogue with respect,
whether one agrees or not

One must listen and learn
as sibling of the same mother

Where a seed can sprout to a new plant
Grow in large groups in grass meadows,
and in roadside around the world

A guarantee of the present and the future
Work hard to create an earth where peace can flourish

The day is here now: Let all the colors of the rainbow shine
and ...
'Roses from all nations scintillate in complete harmony'

Tom Cunningham February 24, 2020 at 2:54 PM Great take on the contest theme Ann, people do have differences but there is always a chance to compromise sadly some won't meet in the middle and it becomes my way or no way. Good luck. Tom.
