Some People

Some people are smarter than others,
While others are better at sports
And then there are those 
Who own all the right clothes 
Or whose homes look like fancy resorts.

Some people have talents like singing
Or playing an instrument well,
While others are skilled
Making crafts that have filled
Shops and sites where such items will sell.

Some people reach out to help others 
And know how to listen and care,
While others explore,
Always looking for more -
Seeking answers for problems we share.

Some people choose lives very simple,
Without any goals to achieve,
For the playing field’s not
One that’s equal, so what
We become’s tied to what we receive.

Beautiful, I find with so much variety there is a common thread in good people, the qualities of compassion and empathy! Loved this!
