Images Of You And Me



Images of Me and Thee
By Curtis Lee Johnson

I love you who are here and near
And I love you who are there so far

Our dear Father has planned it this way
And now, happily, His we are, and always will be

The mere thought of you, my brother, my sister,
causes me to weep
Throughout history, our promises and treaties
have been hard to keep
We are still separated by valleys and pits so deep
But we must stay in the race as we walk, run, and leap
And we must continue to climb the hills and mountains so steep

Though sometimes we are lost, tired, and weak
There is still time to find the peace we seek

One God, one face, is all that I see
Divided and disconnected is no way to be
Let’s find a way to reconnect and live free
There’s a mirror revealing love to be the key
In his image are you and me

POET'S NOTES ABOUT THE POEM
(I once made a delivery to a Restaurant in North Highlands, Ca. When I met the manager,
his demeanor and respect was very admirable. He looked to be of Mid Eastern decent. Just meeting him inspired me to write the above poem to express my feeling about the need for communication and dialogue with people and nations different from us.)
