Saying yes to the stars

You and I see things
from quite different perspectives --
sometimes you look this way,
sometimes I look that way;
sometimes I'm a blue state,
sometimes you're a red --
but we both love the rocks
and we both love the seaweed
and we both need the water
and the plants to survive.
So let's cherish our differences,
say yes to possibilities
and maybe -- just maybe --
all our kids will be stars --
and bright purple to boot!
