Ron Tranmer - Friend & Brother

Every man is my brother,
be he black or white or yellow.
And to me it doesn't matter
the religion of the fellow.

We all live here together
upon this place called Earth,
and had no say in any way
in the origin of our birth.

Sometimes life is difficult.
For some more so than others.
So let our hearts be full of love
and treat all mankind as brothers.

May we be kind and tolerant,
and show compassion without end;
And should, in life, our paths cross,
may I be your friend.

Ron Tranmer
