If the two of us do not see eye to eye,
then let us meet in the encircling glow
of what we truly see—a sister, a brother,
a child of our Father-Mother.
To embrace this loving light
brings a gentleness to our common tie,
a softened look, a kinder thought,
a heart won over, as Christ draws back the veil
and repentant eyes now glimpse
the perfect likeness always there—
a cherished gleam of God's own countenance.
