"A person's a person, no matter how small" No matter how fat, or how skinny, or tall A person's a person, who lives by a dream Who needs your respect, to boost self-esteem "A Person's a person, no matter how small" So don't use a label; don't make that one fall Don't think you are better; we all are the same A person's a person; now that's a nice name A person's a person, who has worries too Who lives and who struggles, a lot like you do So why not be helpful, be kind, and be sweet A smile and a hug, will be a great treat Don't look at the markings or bright colored hair Do not be judgmental; just show that you care "A person's a person, no matter how small." So give him your love, your blessings and alll Quote: "A person's a person, no matter how small." For Casarah Nance's Dr. Seuss Contest Eileen Manassian August 15, 2015

LOVED the Dr Seuss like poem you wrote. You chose an awesome quote too, Eileen. One little thing though, some people just don't LET us be sweet to them because they keep annoying the hell out of us!!
