To know our shared humanity, and find the grace
To give, receive, and learn within this space;
To heal our private wounds for kindred souls,
Through gentle words, not calculated goals.
With humble voice, with sweetness and with care,
We welcome new perspectives that we share.
I shape my life by choosing to defy
The easy answers and the rules that tie.
I brave discomfort, for I know we must
Widen our boundaries to build our trust.
To step beyond ourselves and look from far,
Without erasing who we truly are.
And in this subtle balance that we hold,
The truest form of empathy unfolds.
