What I see in you
the good, the bad, and the ugly
is also in me.
Maybe it looks different in you
or feels better in me,
but it is there.
If I look hard enough I can also see
the fear, the need, and the yearning in you
that is also in me.
And when I do, I know
deep down in the depths of my heart
and in the far-reaching glow of my soul,
that you are no different from me,
no better
no worse
just the same in God’s eyes
are you and me.
