Extend A Hand Poem by Theresa Ann Moore

In this world of great vastness
there are a variety of beautiful colors
In this world of unfamiliarity
blades of difference cut like scissors

In this world of growing uncertainty
Uneasy emotions are climbing high
This world is filled with opportunity…
There is a chance to see eye to eye

Holding hands is an expression
of trust and caring…leading to sharing
When holding hands distance is erased
Walking together side by side… pairing

In a world of differences the resemblance
Within the global family mirrors sameness
An extended hand invites a willingness to realize…
The search for peace is no longer aimless
