Group Poem in Response to Sophia's Poem

 

If you knew what I know      
I'd know we'd understand each other

If you knew what I know
You would delight in the day and not worry, fret, or fray.
      
If you knew what I know
You'd be revelling in what's to come
      
If you knew what I know
I would quietly ask you to spell your truth.
      
If you knew what I know      
Your heart would soften. Your mind would slow down.
      
If you knew what I know      
Then silence would reveal hope and words would bring you triumph.
      
If you knew what I know
You would slay the dragons of fear and face life with brave learning
      
If you knew what I know
You would feel more love than you could hold.  And you would see what we all want is to be accepted and loved
      
If you knew what I know
You would be brightest star
      
If you knew what I know
You would say real change is possible.
As people see real nonspeaking intelligence they will embrace it.
      
If you knew what I know      
You would make more than moments of understanding but would make me respond honestly more often
      
If you knew what I know
You would’ve been more kind to me.
      
If you knew what I know
You would not waste a single moment on anything that is not full of grace
