finding the same

there they were.
at my door.
the religious people again......
funny thing is....they've been comin' so long,
i've become friends with some of them.
really funny when you realize i don't share their beliefs at all...
and yet they keep coming, and i keep liking them.

this time tho, i ran to meet them.

i had heard that one of them had lost her husband.
i had met him several times. and liked him very much.
i was so sad when i heard, and wanted to hug her the minute
i found out.

there she was. at my door. i ran to the door and hugged her tight.
as she told me the story, i teared up. as i told her i cared, i teared
up....as i offered her a place to come when she needed to cry, i
teared up. it was totally from the heart...

how weird is life?
we are so opposite and different.......and yet we are so the same.
when do we stop seein' the different and start hugging the same?

i did so today in my living room.
and it felt right.

now if i can just keep doin' that....
sometimes i can't find the same.........
but maybe if i keep looking?
maybe if i just keep looking..........
