reconciliation

truth stands naked

vulnerable and alone

shaking, shuddering

searching for home

our breath sometimes shallow

words caught in our throat

fumbles and missteps

a part of the road

our humanity before us

letting go of the past

embracing a future

where only love lasts

good hearts and good minds

will shine the light

for those who stand tall

and take up the fight

lift up your sister

together we are strong

because if we try

we can do no wrong
