Millions of miles between our souls
And yet there is no distance.
Together we feel the happiness and the sorrows.
The torments of yesterday,
And the encouragements of tomorrow.
At times it is quiet,
As we share the burdens and joys.
Linking together our minds and our hearts.
The love carries over the seas,
As though we were never apart.
The common ground is where we are,
Together in life we share the struggle of survival.
We endure each moment of our day,
With seperate motivations,
But on that familar path we stay.
Your lifestyle is much different than mine.
Yet the barriers of human feelings,
Play the same tune and speak the same words.
We revolve around a world of suffering and pain,
But the love that is within our souls,
Alleviates that strain.
Like you I ask the questions why?
Why are we destined to travel the obstacled road,
that seems to have many twists and turns.
Yet, we know deep in our hearts,
That in life, this is how we must learn.
There are times we question our encounters in life.
Wondering why sometimes we feel cheated.
Stripped of the pleasures of equality.
It is then that we should realize,
Although another may have more material possessions,
They will have followed the same route.
The winding path of lifes passing lessons.
The answers are quite simple.
We recongize them, but never execute them.
You are given a challenge in life,
And every humans destiny is different.
Let us not worry about what others have done,
But rather look out for yourself,
And what battles you've won.
We love, hurt, and struggle the same.
No difference being human.
How we apply these lessons in our lives, is the difference. Something that we should remember and keep,
The seeds that we sow,
Will be the seeds that we reap.
