Difference

Of all people I know
I am the only one
who sips my coffee
from a stir stick.

You watch me -
consider me an oddity
as I wonder what you consider
as odd.

I do things differently.
Obviously,
not of what you normally do.

I look different.
Obviously,
not of the same colour as your skin.

The truth of the matter:

Being different
does not mean
I am not as good as you are.

Being different
does not mean I'm equal to less,
or more in value than you.

I am different,
but so are you!

ENJOYED IMMENSELY! THANK YOU SO MUCH, SANDIE. THIS SWEET, LITTLE, SHARING COULD SOLVE THE PROBLEMS OF OUR BIG WORLD, BECAUSE IT ALL BOILS DOWN TO LOVING AND EMBRACING 'ALL' FELLOW HUMAN BEINGS, REGARDLESS OF 'DIFFERENCES'. THIS IS A KEEPER. LOVE, BLESSINGS AND FAITH... HIS+INSPIRATIONS

A good example of being "different". In reality, we are all different to one another.

being different is a synonym for being unique. I have always known you were unique. It sings out in your poetry, and in your smile that shines through everything you say. I'm different too. Not better or worse, just different. It's fun!!!!

Smile I liked this inference
that your poem "Difference" creates.
As a matter of fact I look at difference as beauty personally!

Surely hope you are enjoying your spring Sandie.

Take care,

Strange as it seems... what one finds different, another finds lovely... I have to TAN with a spray since I don't tan easily...while I envy one sister who is the opposite. We are each special in our own way...and always the same in God's eyes... I don't drink much coffee, but when I do I like it really hot.... haven't tried the sipping stirrer.. hehe... I really enjoyed this writing... it says so much...and says it so well... hugs, lindalaw

Actually my wife also drinks her coffee, especial when we are driving through a stir stick cause she says it is harder to spill it that way.

Sandie,

We all have our quirks, our uniqueness that makes us different. Skin tone. Eye and hair color. Hair style. Build. Walk. Abilities. Thank God our Creator had a sense of humor: we'd be awful boring if we were all the same. We are not robots, we are human. What takes a person one way to get something accomplished takes another one a different route. An excellent write, well done!

(((HUGS))) and love, Karla.
