The Black Sheep

The black sheep finally accepted the fact While he felt the door close behind him He learnt to adjust to the vast space outside The coat of the black sheep shone brightly The moment he realised his freedom

It certainly does Paul! Many people think of the black sheep as being negative as thats what the saying was meant to portray. But you have a choice to be left out or stand out! Freedom comes when one embraces their differences and learn to love themself. Thanks again, warm regards, Laura.
