By Richard Green
Our joys and pains connect us
even as they sometimes isolate us.
No one truly knows us;
but we all share this human experience.
Nothing really happens to us
that hasn’t happened to others.
Nothing we’ve done
that others aren’t capable of.
What makes us who we are
is that we are here now
living this unique mix of lives.
May we make the road better
for those travelling with us.
