One
of us goes to church on Sunday mornings. She believes in God and Jesus. She is
comforted and uplifted by the words the minister shares. She sings the hymns
with a happy heart.
Two
of us stay home on weekends and sleep in.
One
of us leans to the right. She works hard and expects others to as well. She is
disappointed with the last election as she watches the Liberals take control.
Two
of us cheer Trudeau’s victory and feel optimistic about the future.
One
of us questions society and supports activism. She will live in solitude rather
than follow the flock. She gets frustrated with herself and others.
Two
of us laugh and keep it light.
We
three are friends.
We
live our lives.
Side
by side by side.
Loving
our families. Raising our kids. Building our homes. Mourning our losses.
In
different ways.
Together.
Peace
is possible.
Now.
