Everything I have is because of your laboring before me. I am the sharecropper’s seed. I was given an easy life without suffering or pain. I live in the shade of wise choices because I met you.
We were baptized in the same water. I didn’t know someone’s choices that had nothing to do with me, could affect me so much. I don’t think I pray for anyone as passionately as I do you. I have a reason to be proud because I met you.
Your life will be so different than mine, but I have something to teach you. My time today is purposeful because I met you.
I spent only a short time with you, but my eyes were opened. Now i have no excuse. I cannot go down the path of my culture and pretend I don't know. I will use my blessing to work with you and be a reconciler. I will take part because I met you.
