We Are Coins

Turn right turn left
Look around you!
All the people you see today
who are they?
look at yourself...who are you?
as many as we are
different in more ways than one
...why are we all here?

We all are like coins
in a vendor's pouch
some are made of copper
Others of gold...
and some of silver
but all are coins!

same pouch different coins
different colors...different values
from tens to twenties...
from twenties to fifties!
but all are coins
soo precious in the vendor's eyes
she holds them near...she holds them dear
with fear of loosing any one of them!

one by one the vendor collects the coins
with so much patience and determination/
together their value increases
two fifties make a dollar
five tens make a fifty
on and on the value gets higher
with every coin that comes around
gold, silver or copper...all are coins!

we are like coins
in the creator's pouch(society)
each of us with a different value
but unique in some way
he holds us dear...he holds us near
just like the vendor does with her coins
all are precious...all are valuable!

just like coins
our value is determined by the material we are made of
Wisdom precious as gold
knowledge valuable as silver
& skill alike copper!
together our value increases
from tens to twenties...twenties to fifties
with everyone contributing their share
we are bound to greatness!
just like a bag of coins
with a higher value than one
with every penny contributing its worth
i can confidently shout out
...WE ARE COINS!!!
