That Makes Us Brothers And Sisters
To Muslims and Christians:
The blessed Mother is our blessed mother
That makes us brothers and sisters under one mother
She has given our mothers an example
Our cultures are different but we are the same
Made from the same flesh and bone
That God deemed fit for our bodies
So that we could serve him and serve him well
But really we are only serving ourselves.
