Array ( [sid] => 65540 [catid] => 1 [aid] => mick [title] => I wish [time] => 2004-09-29 05:02:11 [hometext] => Just some thoughts inspired by recent events [bodytext] => I wish that we all could be treated equal
inspite of our different beliefs
It is a shame that we are enemies
when the road that we're on is the same
If I have hurt you I say I'm sorry
I'll try to fix the mistakes I have made
but to avoid me in light of ouf differance
Is to build a wall that separates

I am reaching out my hand to you
I will not beg you to take it
I will be your friend
If you want me to
But I can't if you won't take this chance

All through these battles
I've watched the responses
and attitudes come to a head
The swinging of fists
has me cringing in silence
wiping away hopeful tears
I hope that peace will come
through honest intentions
I hope we can spur
our dividing contentions
And be the true friends that we wanted to be
when we first started to dream

I am reaching my hand out to you
I can not beg you to take it
I know it is a gift that's to be earned
so I take this chance for you
I am reaching my hand out to you
I will not beg you to take it
I'll be your friend if you want me to

But I can't if you don't take this chance [comments] => 7 [counter] => 177 [topic] => 48 [informant] => Archie [notes] => [ihome] => 0 [alanguage] => english [acomm] => 0 [haspoll] => 0 [pollID] => 0 [score] => 15 [ratings] => 3 [editpoem] => 1 [associated] => [topicname] => EmotionalPoetry )
