Common Thread

There is a commonality running through all of us.


There is a thread that combines us as one--


A commonality unlike any other.


We are sewn together by our souls as a unit


Of divine provenance that cannot be undone.


The boundaries by which we are defined


Are greater than the sum of all of us.


That ‘tie that binds’ is stronger than we let on


And makes us entities that God helps refine.


Making shear demands on other mortal spirits


Is not a part of the entire Plan that is in mind


For all of us to witness and behold.


Enchantment with earthly desires will have no merits


When the time comes to leave this planet


And reach an even higher plain.


No, God’s Plan ties us together in spirit.


Our voices will raise a chorus when He grants it,


And we leave our all our bondage behind.


That thread is Love for each because we are ‘mankind.’

I think this poem captures the meaning of "Diversity" and understanding people from different cultures and backgrounds. It is true, that the "tie that binds is stonger than we let on." Each day, we pass others on the street, in the train, or as we go about our business. But do we take time to know them? Do we reach out of our own comfort zone to help those who are from different cultures or backgrounds? Your poem is very insightful.

It is great to know we are tied together and one with God. Leaving our mortal things behind is not hard if we love God. We cannot store our treasures here on earth. Such a profound religious writing and I got much out of it, much more than mentioned here.**********

"... That thread is Love for each because we are 'mankind' "

We should all take care of 'that thread' - treasure it and not let it rot. When many pieces of thread are entwined - it is virtually impossible to break, a lesson we should take to heart.

Thank you!
