A simple word,

a common gesture,

just one question,

a bold new venture.

Walking one mile,

in another’s shoes,

still can’t shed light

on all there is to lose.

Letting another know

you’d walk alongside

and share a simple word

reveals all that wished to hide.

A simple word,

a common gesture,

ask your question,

start a bold new venture.
