Can you see beneath the skin?
Can you listen beyond the words?
Can you tell who really is within?
Do you know your brother as yourself?
How often do we judge what we see?
How often do we discriminate because of belief?
How much do we believe we need to be alike to be connected?
How true are you to being truly You?
Do you pretend to be the same?
Do you try to fit in with the color of your skin?
Do you dress like others do?
Do you think being the same is being true to you?
Is this a time to relate?
Can you celebrate with all humanity?
Can you open your heart to really see?
Can you let go of fear of being different?
In the beginning, we are the same.
In the end, we all are one.
Equally loved and equally valuable.
Why not choose now to love One and love All?
If we loved everyone and everyone loved us,
No more war, no more strife.
All would have a better life.
We could see each other as ourselves.
One big family..
Rich and poor,
Large and small.
We would live joy for all.
I see this life as the blessed opportunity to forgive our separation.
I see my place as seeing the Love in every face.
I see this time as reaching out with compassion and kindness.
I see each moment as lighting the tree of life with my loving energy.
Let us honor today and tomorrow as our time to shine.
Let’s bring love to humankind.
Loving you,
Betty Lue
