Perspectives

If I were you and you were me

How might we see things differently?

I might see what you now see

And you might be where I now be

If you were me and I were you

What different things we'd get to do

I'd go through things that you go through

And you might see my point of view

But if I were you and you were me

That's then how our lives would be

And we wouldn't know the territory

The other walks to disagree

And if you were me and I were you

I'd have never known the way I grew

Or known the things that once I knew

When I was me and you were you

For we all have a 'you-niverse'

For richer, poorer, better, worse

For our busy minds to bless or curse

Above, below, to then reverse

So, I see you and you see me

Just as we ARE, just as we BE

But your perspective I can see

When I develop Empathy

The first four verses came straight away that evening and the last two the next morning (today, as I write this). Having read it to a few of the group here this Rising, I promised to share it online, so here it is...
