Hello Dad
It is my belief that in this life
one of the only real points of it
is to get to know each other
To come to agreement
is unrealistic
and rarely ever achieved
even amongst the deepest connection
There have been a few souls in this life
that I so desperately wanted to know
forever
But those were not the cards that were dealt
Those souls I did not have agreements with
but knowing them
was so fulfilling, so ecstatic, so much better
than agreement
So when you tell me
that maybe there are
certain things
that I don’t want to hear
It doesn’t allow me
the privilege
of possibly
getting to know you better
It doesn’t extend an invitation
to share certain things
that I think
maybe you don’t want to hear
We don’t have to have agreement
to talk to each other
in fact, as you are surely aware
we rarely ever do
Think of how much more we could hear
Think of how much more we could say
How much more could we laugh
How much more could we cry
I am tired of feeling tired
I think its possible to peacefully disagree
Everyone is right and everyone is wrong
It would be nice to try something new
