POEM:  WHO ARE WE

When we look in the mirror each morning

As we go through the hustle and bustle of getting off to work, to school or to play

How many people do we see each day

How many faces do we see each day

How are we alike and how are we different

Are we defined by our appearance

Are we judged by our differences

Are we praised for our accomplishments, loved for who we are and defined by what we do

Many colors, many races, many dimensions, many shapes, many sizes

All bleed red blood, all have two eyes, two ears, one mouth, one head, and one body

All love the same, hurt the same, laugh the same, and cry the same

We love our children, love our spouses, love our lord and love our animals

Why do we hate the differences instead of embracing the individuality

Why do we speak unkindly about what we don’t understand

We all have a voice, we all have a choice

Give love, respect differences and enjoy life to the fullest

We all have a purpose in life and a god that loves us all

Let’s stop the hate, stop the violence, stop the prejudices, stop the biases, and see each person as one that can possibly change our lives.
