AN: Thanks to: Crystal, (now you're the one making me get all teary-eyed), Mrs. A. Hamilton (Yeah, that one wasn't as deep as I wanted it to be. I wrote it while I was bored yesterday, and the poems that come from boredom are normally not as good as I'd want them to be. But I guess that was was about a five on a scale from 1-10. Thanks for your review!) psycho freak (a few years ago when I went on the annual camping trip with my church's youth group and we went to the sand dunes a few miles away from our campsite, my youth group leader made a point somewhat like the one I made in my poem. That was when I really started to think about it, too).
By God's design,
we are a skin kaleidoscope.
- DC Talk
Different
We're all created differently
By the God up above
'Here's your personality
Sent to you with love'
We all have different feelings
Different emotions, different cares
Some of us like heavy metal rock
While some like fluffy teddy bears
Some people are opposites
Some are "dead alike"
Others like sky diving
And some a soothing hike
Since everybody's different
And that's a good thing, too
Why does our skin matter?
Whether it's white or black or blue?
God gave us our colors
Why can't we just accept?
Why can't we trust Him?
After all, he's adept
In what He does
And He knows what he's doing
What does it take to trust
Instead of sitting, stewing?
What do you think God's view is up there
While we're here insulting His creations?
What does our skin color matter, anyway
When we're all from different nations?
