“Hurt people hurt people” that’s what we say
yet healing together seems so far away
In loving forgiveness, grace may be found
and the joy of connection exists all around
within and between us the walls we have made
may crumble and transform into paths that we pave
with grateful remembering- we know who we are
compassionate caregivers created from stars
We live only briefly and rather than fear
imagine how much we might love while we’re here
The past can’t be different but we can decide
to surrender our masks and reveal what we hide
so those in our orbit know all that we hold
our wounds and our weakness, our transcendent souls
Imagine what’s possible when we choose to repair
what’s broken inside us and this world that we share
