Agree To Disagree.
Applause Without Allegiance.
Your brush paints skies I would never choose,
Your pen shapes roads I will not walk.
Yet I can stand near the canvas,
And nod at the courage of your colors.
Your words are a garden I cannot eat from,
But I see the hours in your soil.
The care in your pruning,
The love in your rain.
I can lift my hat to your craft,
Without carrying home your harvest.
I can cheer the music in your voice,
Without echoing every verse.
The world is wide enough for our differences,
And narrow enough for us to meet in the middle.
Where respect is not surrender,
And kindness needs no agreement.

A beautiful poem. A world where differences does not have to mean war, but we can meet in the middle, because kindness needs no agreement. Nicely Done!!!

Love how you celebrate differences without forcing agreement. The world’s better when we clap for each other, even from different stands. 👏🤝
Respect blooms in distance—your words remind me admiration doesn't mean agreement. Beautifully honest and hopeful.
Stellar work, Cathy!!! The logic is sound and well versed. -The world is wide enough for our differences, And narrow enough for us to meet in the middle.- 👏👏👏
