Us Poem by Linda Engwall

Hoping can we
Manage
To see
The best in us

Alone
We are
Unique,
Devine,
Beautiful,
Scary,
Greedy,
Incomplete

Together
We make a complete
Being

One that balances
Kind,
Selfless,
Passionate,
Forgiving,
Loving,
Giving

Searching to
Find purpose
In us

Complete humans
Alone, yes
Although so much better
Together

Calling each other to task
All the stuff
If left alone
Would
Become
Selfless, selfish

We can only become
One when we
Can honor the you and I
Separately
But respect what we can do together
Is so powerful
