VIEWPOINT
What’s mine is mine
What’s yours is yours
Too much trouble to look beyond
My own backyard
Safety in staying at home
Within my own circle of neighborhood friends
What a loss~
There is no gain
When I am fenced in
A prisoner of my own choosing
To know so little
To see only a tiny piece
Of the whole earthly design
What gain~
To open my eyes and see
The awesome and infinite variety
Of you and me
To appreciate your view
To see our commonness
And celebrate our uniqueness
To openly share
Thus learning to care
To understand one anothers struggles
And feel the others pain
To hold your hand
And touch your heart
