To Him, No One Is a Rank Stranger

To Him, No One is a Rank Stranger No one is a rank stranger hiding behind dark threats. No one is a rank stranger concealing their cruel epithets. Recognizing an identity that is unique-ly theirs. Acknowledging an identity and a desire they wish to share. Finding a common experience is the treasure he seeks to be found. Finding a common experience is as wonderous glorious and marvelous as any diamond discovered underground. Becoming part of the family by finding a way to care, is being part of a family with trust and love and laughter shared. He is building bridges starting on common ground, digging for diamonds like a miner, finding love where none thought could be found. To him no one is a rank stranger, Ignoring what sets us apart. He’s finding value in the person, seeing God’s image in every heart. by Martin Braun 12/08/18 Dedicated to my mom who influenced me, and my friend Audrey who inspired me.
