PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I use to wish everyone I’d see…would think and act exactly like me.

I imagined, if everyone thought like me,

what a wonderful, wonderful world this would be.

Then I met people who were crazy about …olives, nose rings and Brussel sprouts.

Three things I hated...but I soon found out I could like these people even with my doubts.

Then I met people who didn’t share my views,

people of varying religions and hues.

And perhaps you can guess what next ensues...

Yes...these are the friendships now I choose.

Because now I know everyone I see…need not think and act like me.

Because all these people who are different from me…makes this the most wonderful world it can be.

It seems my life has done a complete turnabout.

I’ve worked through my apprehensions and my doubts...

Well most of them anyway, because I can still do without...

Olives, nose rings...and Brussel Sprouts.
