We'Re Not That Different

What is your problem with me? You don't have to like me at all However you will respect me Don't be all snobby with me Don't look at me like I’m trash I may not cross my “t ‘s” Nor dot my “i ‘s” like you But come a little closer And I guarantee we’re not, that different as you think Oh and I love your son by the way I’ve said my peace goodbye 1-15-17 Alexis Y.

Yes we are all the same and we all have our issues, we need to realize that and accept each other for who we are not who we want nor think they should be!

In the eyes of the Lord we are as important for the divine plan, however, our roles may defer and there we are differentiated! Well spoken my friend, Alexis! That's my girl!

We are people, we all have problems, we all have triumphs, our hearts break and smiles gleam. We cry and we laugh, we have and we need. We are not that different at all. So beautifully said Alexis, though I think there is a deeper meaning here, it is all truth.

It may take time but you can turn the tide, a gift of a grandchild should do the trick! It worked for me. ; ) 7

It is like you are speaking to God in this write of bare feelings Alexis. Sometimes the only way to reason with God is as equals, one soul to another. You show the cutest confidence in this poem, it's so strong and playful...J.A.B.
