Come To Me
Grip my hand and know I have substance
Hear me and know I have thoughts
Look into my eyes and understand I have a heart
And yes, a soul.
We are separate you and I, different beings
Though we share many things
Longings for companions and a mate
Love for our children and elders
Desire for a place to rest ourselves
A small microcosm of family
Hold not one being above another
One soul better than the other
Let us make our own works
Afterwards feast together as friends
Free to choose, independent
As all beings should be
