I love sharing poetry that friends have sent to me and here is one I just recieved this morning! I hope you enjoy it as much as I did!~~~Hugs~~~Jan~~~ I'm me -- You're you
I cannot change the way I am, And I really never try, God made me different and unique, I never ask him why.
If I appear peculiar, There's nothing I can do, You must accept me as I am, As I accept you.
God made a casting of each life, Then threw the old away, Each child is different from the rest, Unlike as night and day.
So often we will criticize, The things that others do, Do you know, they do not think, The same as me and you?
So God in all his wisdom, Who knows us all by name, He didn't want us to be bored, That's why we're not the same.
