The Diversity of the Human Race
The little girl sat so sweetly
Upon her loving father’s knee
She looked so very solemn
He knew a smile was not to be
Questioningly she looked at him
Said “Daddy please tell me
I heard a new word today
What is diversity?”
The father thought a moment
Of what the word meant to him
He thought of the history of mankind
Of those who went out on a limb
The settlers from around the world
that made Canada a freedom land
All creeds and colors of the world
Reaching out each day a helping hand
He thought of all the heroes past
The soldiers buried now in Flanders’s Field
The Kennedy’s and Marin Luther King
Who died to see a country healed?
So much unity in that one word
How could he explain to her seeking eyes?
“Sweetie diversity is when we all,
Love each other like God above
Diversity is when the world becomes a family
and we all believe in love.
When the color of the skin or the Gods we worship to
Doesn’t matter quite as much
As all the things together we can do”
The little girl thought a moment
Then a smile lit up her face
“Thank you Daddy, now I know
Diversity should be the human race.”

BE SAFE!
BE POsitive!
Diversity should be Unity!
Subject's SO important, and you have written about it in a way that is deceptively simple and created with economy and deep sincerity. I.e., a poem of importance to match!! No one can fail to understand the message. Converts are bound to surface. . .let's pray! Love and Peace and a Cleaner, Safer, and Kinder World of Tomorrow, 'Pea'xoX
The color of skin or race or religion,
None of this makes A difference in his eyes
We are all his children and one "Big a family"
The way it was meant to be
United as one!

Diversity is when the world becomes a family

Love you Cuz XOXO, Rose
A very thoughtful poem about diversity, I like very much that it is placed in a conversation between father and daughter instead of a kind of erudite form.
Very very good!
