You claim I'm black, my thoughts off track! You're smug; No hug for me who's shunned, but here's the thing: Baa baa black sheep baa baa white sheep! The sounds we make are just the same, so bring me back safe in God's fold. White sheep Black sheep: one fold. For Silent One's Black and White Contest Imagine 4 March 7, 2016

We all have tremendous similarities with frivolous differences. Really love where you went with the photo. Brings to mind the shepherd herding us in.
