Common Ground

I can understand

How you feel.

I have had my share of

Pain like that.

Life can offer 

Challenges.

Good thing we can do 

Hard things.

~

I can understand 

Your excitement!

What an incredible 

Inspiration you are!

Maybe not the first 

With that idea,

But it’s a goody, how will

It come through you?

~

I can understand

Your courage.

If you’re not a bit afraid, 

You aren’t paying attention.

Yet, you stand up and 

Continue to believe.

This is our common ground,

Upon which we will build tomorrow.
