Through Your Eyes

If I was you and you were me,
I could understand what you see.

I would know how you think and feel,
If your actions were false or real.

If that tear is from joy or grief,
And how to better offer relief.

If I should love you or turn you away,
Tell you to go or ask you to stay.

But I am me and you are you,
So this is what I think we should do.

Put yourself in the other's place,
And greet the world with a smiling face.

Try to understand and appreciate,
And love each other before it's too late.

I think a subtitle for this poem could be "Recipe for World Peace." Is this poem brand new? I really like it! And well done getting the blog to work! Is it okay if I put a link to your blog on my blog?

I wrote this poem this morning as I was waking up. Link the blogs if you want to. I don't know what that means but if you want it OK with me.
