They met in Kansas on life's way,
They met on the level and still stay true to that meeting to this day,
As they stood on the wide open even plain,
They chose to be open minded and within that frame to remain.
One then climbed to the lofty heights known only by a few,
The other lived a common life with hard work all through,
Both remembered their common ground, the open even plain,
Living the belief that all people are equal and we are all the same.
And so their meeting showed them to see what is true,
They carried that unique perspective as a certain point of view,
Remembering the common ground of their meeting on the open even plain,
Which taught them that on it we all stand the same.
