The Joining

(9/7/12) Three different women - three different cases All gave birth to satin and laces. One black, one oriental, one white What they had in common was they all Gave birth the same night. The BLACK child was six pounds three Brown eyes and as beautiful as can be. The ORIENTAL child was five pounds nine Jet black hair and looking fine. The WHITE child was eight pounds three Blue eyes, blond hair, skin fair. All confined to the same ward and about five feet apart All loving mothers with the kindest of hearts. They all talked for hours on end And made a pact that they would remain friends. To their surprise they all lived close by. Every weekend their families would get together And it seemed that life couldn’t get better. And every year on the girls birthday They’d get together to celebrate. NOW ! The point that I want you to see Is if they could do it, WHY can’t we? Why can’t all nations put aside their bigotry and hate And join together to celebrate , just what GOD has given And make this life on earth worth living. © L.RAMS
