As We Are
 
How strong we are
how wise we are
how cool we are
And still it’s so difficult
to be who we are
to let others be
how they are……..
 
How grown up we are
how good we are
how educated
And still its so difficult
to bend down a bit
to say what’s needed
“Can you forgive me.”
 
How great we are
how dressed up
how small we still are
shadows the memories
when unable
to supporting an idea
to put the good side into it
to let others join us
Or let them be in peace
if that is what they want…..
 
Maybe we all need
a little more grace……………..
 
author S.Hopland, translated into English by ArizonaMoon
