What’s trash to some might just my treasure be It takes all kinds to make this world go ‘round There’s room for all to blend in harmony A song with just one note’s a boring sound. A canvas splashed with many splendid hues, Diversity adds such a zest to life; Just think of all the beauty we would lose If palettes but with monotones were rife. The structure of a verse sings sweet its song On me it has a powerful effect Yet verses free so gently float along They’d cause a butterfly to genuflect. Though not the same they share a common goal …Portraying for the world what’s in the soul. 1/7/2000 |

I, too, loved the butterflies line, but also love structure, and you are indeed a master of this form. I agree with the message, too! How true that our diversity is what makes this a wonderful and colorful place! To love another person is to see the face of God. |
