the struggle to express

the struggle(ˈstrəgəl) to express(ikˈspres)

see(sē), appreciate(əˈprēSHēˌāt), support

nothing we do as teachers,
nothing we do as people,
is more important than to see the other,
to appreciate the other,
to let the other know we get
some portion(ˈpôrSHən) of the effort
of the life each lives,
some portion of that of God
that each struggles to reveal(riˈvēl), to express,

every effort needs to be seen,
needs to be appreciated,
needs to be supported,

we each are alone,
at least in how we can feel,
we need the other, the friend,
we need the community(kəˈmyo͞onitē)
to open itself, and thus us,
to how full we all can be.
