                     You and I

                     you and I
         we both see the same dark of time
                 and space and death
                     you and I
         we both have the same desires of
               love and truth and life
                     you and I
            we both cry for our children
     for their sorrow and happiness and dreams
                are we so different
                     you and I
                  you a black man
                   and I a white.

So true!!!!! You express that beautifully in this poem. I wish everyone could see it that way.

Love and hugs,

So much said with so few words. Too bad we all can't see that we are not so different afterall. Very good.

Very good thoughts in this, Forrest! There really is no difference at all, is there?

Race seems to be a big issue in today's world, even as we've overcome so many obstacles in that field already. Don't you wish it would just go away?!?
