differing similarities

We are all Human. Well, most of us.

from Bangladesh,

a young couple

endures the miles.

traveling an odyssey,

light years from home.

settling in a place,

where Mosques 

are few and far between.

he is a professor,

she, a nurse.

and so it came to be,

an elderly Woman,

fearing brown people 

most of her life,

in her time of need,

was cared for

by Mrs. Islam.

nurse and patient,

the healer and the sick,

slowly forging a bond,

unlikely but real.

the elderly Woman

did not realize it,

but her soul did,

that love is universal,

carried by a Human touch.

Author's Note

The hug they shared as Mom left the care facility was a sight to see.

This is beautiful. It tells such a true story of how the world should be; how people should relate to one another.
