Ode To Odd

Ode to Odd Hail strangeness in all its many ways. Its peppery and spices boring days. A different mold was used for each of us. Variation going on without the fuss. We are balanced by a single inner thread, to keep on doing the norm our culture bred. What joy! to be unique in all the world, and watch to see your special flag unfurl. Feel no shame when they say and think you're odd. It’s the blessing of a special touch by God. 5/7/17
