The Art of Heart-to-heart

 Sometimes our differences can keep life interesting...

At other times it is a serious business of learning humility!

This two way street of you and I

Learning how to meet eye to eye

While you prefer the things you do

And I don’t share your point of view

Can keep us relearning the art

Of hand-in-hand and heart-to-heart

But we dare not give up, for then

We choose the lesser way of men

But daily, by God’s grace commit

To make the very best of it

Lest we become bitter and sad

Numbed by the things we wish we had

Or merely learn to co-exist

Never full-loved, 

Full-held, 

Full-kissed
