If I reach across this gulf widening between us and meet resistance;
If I smile, searching for a road to understanding and touch resentment;
If love offered to assuage hurts looming o’er us senses rejection;
Then this self-denying is as an impenetrable wall barring peace, joy,
self-actualization;
That bridge, fittingly called,
Life Fulfillment…
For us, an untraveled road!
