Growing a Family

Throughout the ages each had their own skin They began ebony, then turned chocolate brown But with evolution, change would begin And as colors lightened, each wore their own crown. One wore a headdress of colors so bright Some had a veil that their station confirmed Others a turban wrapped round heads so tight With hats and helmets, each function affirmed. They appear separate in purpose and dress While each has a culture and history Uniqueness should never bring us distress Differences should not be a mystery. Tho each stands alone, we can stand as one If we but learn to accept everyone.
