Individuality

No two snowflakes are just alike.
The same is said for you and me.
God made us each to his own plan,
With idividuality.

Why should either of us be scorned,
The other looked on favorably?
I could have easily been you
And you could just as well be me.

We had no part in our designs,
God was the sculptor of us all.
We cannot know his reason why,
I am so short and you are tall.

If I look at you with disdain,
I'm mocking God and that won't do.
It's individuality
That's keeping me from being you.

May love and light always shine upon you!

Love,

Indeed!! God loves us all and made us unique. What a wonderful way of putting it. Enjoyed this much.

Your last stanza is so very true, and we should indeed celebrate our uniqueness.  I loved this poem

Love this, much applause for individuality, as it takes many colors and hearts to make a love rainbow.
