Together

It was something his father always told him
a truth he wanted known
He’d say, son, together we are greater
than either one of us is alone

He’d say, If we want to make our world a better place…
we must blend together every seed of knowledge ever sown..
for together we are greater than any one of us is alone…

We must turn our disparities into strengths, he’d say 
and not let our differences be overblown
for together we are greater than any one of us is alone…

We must realize how we need one another
and understand something the Earth has always known
that together we are greater than any one of us is alone…

He died…but his message has stayed with his son
and now that he’s on his own
He is stronger knowing his father’s with him…
than he could ever be alone.
