Soup Spoon
Our beliefs about politics,
and matters with regard to faith
do, likely more than anything,
divide us into smaller camps.
And yet it represents a chunk
of who I am and what I think.
So I respect our difference,
and hopefully, you feel the same.
If not, discussion is reduced
to spring and sport and things inane.
And after all, what good is soup
containing one ingredient?
We all contribute to the pot,
as was intended, as was meant.
The pot gets stirred from time to time,
the flavors mingle all the more,
encountering the tasty bits,
the end result is much improved.
I like some heat from time to time;
I don’t pretend to be a chef.
So you can call me what you like;
I hope you'll call me your friend Jeff.
