Unless you have a mind of your own <br />How could you ever have known <br /> <br />If you have not walked in another’s shoes <br />Sit down, be kind, and listen to their views <br /> <br />Unless you have lost <br />Then you know the cost <br /> <br />If you have climbed the mountain <br />Then you know the pain <br /> <br />Unless you have tasted the sweet nectar of love <br />Then you know the bitter essence thereof <br /> <br />If you understand one <br />Then two is better than none<br /><br />Patricia Gale<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/if-unless/
