We the People
Holding Each other at a distanceUnwilling and uncaring
Opening hearts with such resistance
Yet with something
As simple as a snow flake
The monotony of modern living
Takes a break
We can get a brief glimpse
at how the world once was
Isn’t it amazing what the images
Of children gathering outside to play does?
Exchanging nods and
The lifting of a warm cup of coffee
to the strangers
We once pretended not to see
Its gentle glow
Is something for which we should rejoice
For it gives the community we seek
A much deserved Voice
The face of your neighbor
And the kids down the street
Each a piece of the America
We have so desired to meet
Let it be a lesson
So we don’t forget
How to be a family
With those that we have met.
