Dr. Seuss Meets Ram Dass

After Ram Dass

Hold hands for comfort, connection, protection
regardless of language, sex, age, creed, complexion.

Hold hands, first, you two, then bring others along.
Make compassion your compass. You will not go wrong.

You will share stories. You’ll vary your pace.
You may blaze trails. Some steps you’ll retrace.

You may find yourself in another one’s face
in the midst of disaster. That’s often the case!

Some will start dancing. Others will walk.
Some will need silence. Others will talk.

Some will shout “Hallelujah”. Some will sing the Blues.
Some will spout poetry. Others, the news.

Some will speak in riddles while others chant Om…
We’re all just walking each other home.
