What Keeps Us Apart
A closed-off heart

It is easy to get caught up in our differences, but we are more alike than we realize. Wars have been fought over the smallest of disagreements. The world would be a much different place if we were able to look past what makes us different and see how we are similar instead.
The only true thing that keeps us apart is having a closed-off heart. It is possible to rekindle connections and heal broken relationships. You just have to be open to hearing the other person’s point of view and seeking understanding.
What keeps us apart? a splintered heart or is it skin or where you’ve been a different view coming unglued
Discerning friend a troubled end just feeling lost when you exhaust your narrow mind what keeps you blind
And never see what’s meant to be is to connect get over it what keeps us apart? a closed-off heart

Life is one big journey, and your most important destination is love. People will come and go, but some will stay with you and support you the whole way. Lisa Precious / Smiley Blue describes this beautifully in her poem, “All Aboard the Train of Life”.
