A Poem

The following poem was sent to me via email in the summer of 1998.

If the world was blind,
maybe then we'd see
the true side of beauty,
deep within you and me.

No one could judge us
by our outer looks,
like the fancy covers
on expensive books.

We'd see with our hearts,
and not just our eyes,
and what we discover
might be a surprise.

There would be no need 
to try to impress,
with the way we look, 
or the way that we dress.

The only thing that would matter
is the way we would feel,
not phony or cheap,
but truthful and real.

A Quote

I discovered the quote below on a grade school chalkboard in a school gym in 1997.

"Each of us is different.. expect it, respect it, and accept it." Unknown
