Permanent Change
Meet me in the middle,
With an open mind,
Set aside differences,
We're the same kind...
Or so I thought with a naive mind,
even when intelligence outweighs ignorance, she kept one difference to herself..
now is the time to put away those old ways and reach for my hand,
the one she was looking at as if in a trance.."please", I said with a look of phony assurance
"things have changed, this I know
but that doesn't mean we can't learn still and grow, I know our families want to steady our roll, into the unknown but it's taking a toll, on who's still vaccinated and those who are not, our country will soon come to a complete stop" As I said these words her eyes looked into mine,
she said, "well I'm tired and we're running out of time. You go your way I'll go mine. I heard the next vaccination site had a really long line."
While I knew I'd never see her again
I said the only thing I could, "You'll always be in my prayers dear friend."
