I Love Your Difference

She asked " can I touch your hair"
I answered " yes"
She touched my hair
Felt it
The look on her face was priceless 
She was so excited and happy
Her first time touching African hair

"Wow I dint know it was that soft" she said
I smiled and gave her some African hair 1:1:-) 
"That looks so easy to maintain"
She expressed in regards to my afro 
Wishing she had my kind of hair

"Your hair is beautiful too" I said to my Indian friend
Her long dark silky hair was admirable to many

He created differences
So in awe and wonder we can see Him in each other

differences give meaning to life. They aren't meant to segragate, but to separate so as to make life understandable!
