I wrote this poem last Sunday, 5-24-20. Thank you for taking the time to read, comment, like, and share as you feel led.
Pledge
Today, let’s not talk about
your politics, or my religion.
But let’s instead listen-
not in the way we do when
we’re not listening at all,
filled up to our ears with our
own ideas, and cares.
No, today let’s stop talking for once,
and learn what it is to listen.
Today, I say, let’s pledge our allegiance
to love alone and if love is
our waving flag, the banner flying
over our souls-
maybe we can begin to talk again
about our babies,
find our common ground-
stand on hope, laugh together
remember our joy.
