Tolerance

Nationalities, cultures, customs
All peoples of our planet Earth
Liberals, Conservatives, Independents
This is my take for what it's worth

Tolerance, sensitivity, understanding
Of other ideas and concepts
Tenderness, kindness, gentleness
Such admirable qualities to be kept

Passionate, Patient, Peacefulness
All belong to nature's creed
Generous, honourable, unselfishness
A hand up to someone in need

Farsightedness, courtesy, flexibility
The die is cast when we're born
Innovator, inventor, pioneer
A leader so passionate so warm

Excellent characteristics these virtues
We seek them all of our lives
A balance derived from honour
The pinnacle for which we strive

The world is one big collection of human beings. We are all basically the same, striving to get from point A to point B with the least amount of hassle! That about says it all doesn't it! Thank you my friend for your comments... cheers, Jack
