My text entry is a warm hearted poem about common threads that tie our global humanity together.
Common Threads – By Sheema Huq
There are common threads
when blood is red
and veins are blue
with a scarf on a head
and a lace on a shoe
There are common threads
when clearing your head
on a wooden pew
When remembering what you said
while forgetting what to do
There are common threads
when dropping like lead
and sticking like glue
with a waft of a scent
and a glimpse of a view
There are common threads
for the hearts that bled
and the joy that grew
when sorrow had fled
while peace became true
