"Hands Across the Bridge"

Different colours, different ways,
But friendship grows through all our days.
When words are said that cause us pain,
We can choose to heal again.

Listen close and understand,
Reach across with heart and hand.
Sorry is a bridge we build,
Where hurt and anger can be healed.

Together strong, together free,
That's the way we're meant to be.
Respect and kindness lead the way,
To a brighter, better day.
