The same

The world never stops going round,
as each person walks along the ground.

Different we all may be-
but the same we are deep beneath.

One may look different from another,
but deep down, down beneath-
we are funny, and we are all sweet.

A warm, thoughtful poem with a clear message of shared humanity. The simple rhyming couplets give it an accessible, gentle flow, while the repeated “deep beneath” beautifully reinforces the idea that kindness and sweetness unite us beyond outward differences.
