Let’s talk about our differences

Let’s talk about our differences
The things we feel inside
The kind of things that polarize
Things people want to hide

Let’s talk about our differences
To help us understand
That every person is unique
Let’s listen (if you can)

I hear the things you say to me
Some of them make me sad
And other differences you share
Have even made me mad

I know you feel the same about
The differences I’ve shared
But in your quiet listening
You show me that you care

And when we’re talking face to face
It’s different, you see
Than when we share conniving posts
In spite of you or me

When iron scrapes another piece
Both irons sharpen true
We grow more through the differences
The strengths of me and you

Let’s talk about our differences
Face fears and rise above
Instead of trying not to change
Let’s live to be like Love
