So much easier
To
Stick with your own
Kind

To those different
To
Turn an eye
Blind

Yet
Breaching the gap
Most likely to
Find

Much more in
Common
Than dividing
Lines

Make it

Under roof
Or
Open air

Amid mementoes
And
Others

About whom
You
Truly care

When selfies

Of smiling
Recently divorced couples

Were trending on
Instagram some time ago

The thought occurred

Relationships

With so little
Emotional investment

Were likely
On shaky ground

When he invited her in and she saw what he was displaying
out in the open in his living room, she immediately knew……

He was a man
With
A tender
Heart

Involved in
The community
Doing his
Part

Always quick
To
Lend a helping
Hand

Never
Purporting
To be
Grand

Not inclined
From responsibility
To
Dart

Someone she would
Fall for
Right from the
Start

We each have the starring role
In our own life documentary.

As our path intersects with others,
We at times assume
A major supporting role
In their life drama,

Or perhaps nothing more
Than a brief guest appearance.

But, bind our individual stories
TOGETHER

And the chronicle of mankind unfolds.
