There are two versions of this verse. Which do you prefer?

When I am done with being right
And you are done with being wronged
Perhaps then we can speak of something small and bright
That we can both agree upon.
This lovely piece of calligraphy is from the hand of Catharine Hoffmaster. Its full size is about 20 inches by 8 inches. It hangs in my kitchen.
…………………………………………
When I am (or you are or we are) done with being right
And you are (or we are or I am) done with being wronged
Perhaps then we can speak of something small and bright
That we can all agree upon.
