I love to spend time thinking about the differences among people. We do not celebrate them enough I feel it is so lucky that all of us are very different.

Perhaps, I am thinking much further than the poem was meant to be, but that is what great poems do, they take the reader on a ride, provoke lots of thoughts and emotion and this poem is really an excellent one.
