Thus, Fellowmen

 Don't you just love cooking with fresh ingredients?!

Don't you just love a child's eager curiosity?!

Don't you just love a sunny daybreak?!

or a surprise flower bouquet from a friend?!

...or winter-dusk's farewell hues?!

and thousands of other kindred kindnesses!!

With so much in common, why do we bicker so?!!

We walk life’s path of day to day

With many a bump along the way

With many a trip, slip, stumble-spree

(The birthplace of humility)

Thus, we should not be enemies

Because life’s commonalities

Are always more, we must confess

Than that which marks our differences

All that we have we leave behind

This but the dust of daily grind

Where rich or poor, small or great ken

By grace we go, thus, fellowmen
