My Thinking

I wish you could walk in my shoes

And I could walk in yours

I wish when you saw tears form

You knew why they feel from my eyes

I wish you knew my thought process

And I knew yours

I wish when you saw anger form in my expressions

You knew what I am feeling at that moment 

I wish you could see the compassion in what I am doing

And I could see yours

I wish you saw my heart exploding 

You would know I find great pride in this journey 

We are four people

Willing to give a year of our lives 

To serve a community 

To learn how to live together 

We don’t always have to like each other

Or understand people’s thinking and emotions 

But try to find a common ground 

And live as peacefully and simply as we can
