No Matter the Difference, It's All the Same

The frist time I set foot on the earth,
I couldn't speak a single word.

On the same date, at the same time,
another child took his first step from across the world.

The first time I spoke was gibberish english,
across the global a one year old spoke his first word upon the same minute.

Mine was mom, and his was dad.
We both felt their love, we've yet to feel sad.
Sadness, and emotion that everyone can feel,
Happiness is what we look for, and love that is real.

My skin is creamy,
his skin is black,
her skin is tan,
we all face the facts.

Love is love,
Hate is surely hate.
no matter what color you are...
we all earn our own fate.
