Poem
(We may appear to be different we all belong to GOD, Now Realize That) A young boy sat down by the roadside Watching all of the other children playing He let out a long and lonesome sigh All of the sudden the wind came by and blew his cap from his head The child ran as fast as he could trying to hide the shiny spots on his head Without showing the world all of his dread For the other children's parents did not understand his condition Thinking it was quite contagious and forbade their children to play with him Hence, the saddened young boy ran as fast as he possibly could It seemed as though he could not bear it any more Because of the stares from those who hadn't understood Finally a little girl wearing all white held out her hand She didn't show fright for she too was in need of a friend She promised his honor she would defend -- He asked her name she replied "Alopecia Know Moore" She then claimed that she'd come down to even the score. The little boy exclaimed "Oh how will you ever do that!" She replied, "by re-educating those ignorant people and their brats!" So, she began to sing a song loud and strong This led them to believe that their thinking was wrong. "You couldn't catch it like ring n' de worm Or all de fungal diseases that make one squirm" Soon all sat back and relaxed while she put their minds at ease She had caught their attention for sure, and then she began again, “The condition is one that attacks the immune system Through the hair follicles... this young boy you should not tease For his beauty shines brighter than any of you here -- So what, if he has only loss a little bit of hair; His handsomeness shines like a beacon from within You can't catch it if you rubbed his skin You'd might learn to love him, if you'd just make him your friend." The children look round at their parents with inquiring eyes Wondering why they had told them such lies The parents became ashamed allowing the children to become friends They all found that day that beauty lies deeper than ones skin Through the re-education they now know More about Alopecia and made some new friends...
