You and Me
We walk together in pride,
We talk together in happiness,
Love is our aim in life,
We point in all directions,
We try to be you and me
We understand when the other is sad,
but we avoid potential troubles,
because we know by sight,
when one of us wants to be alone,
We try to be you and me
We look into each other’s eyes,
and we see love,
we cherish this sight,
and advantages are never taken,
for we try to be you and me
We respect each other’s needs,
yes, our favors are within reason,
we each give a little, then share the sum,
because we try to be you and me,
We know the power of truth,
for we respect each other with honor,
we do so in a way that being honest loves,
is being you and me,
By Barbara Tremblay Cipak
Poem: “You and Me”…The interesting thing to note about this poem is that I wrote it in the 1970s before I had a mature relationship with anyone and after reading it today. I was only about 12 at the time, I was young, but seemed to have an idea of what I wanted my future to look like.
