The world through my eyes....

We*

Each person on this planet
is born with eyes
whether they can see or not
they are a gift
to observe the wonders of the world
or to endure through the darkness

We all are born on Earth
Every single baby
enjoys the benefits
or suffers through the hardness
of the land

Even if a child born today is blind and unseeing
even if this child has skin
as black as the night sky
this child
is a gift
and should be treated as one

We all are different
but
we are all the same
One race
the one and only
Human race

*This poem was written for a Social Studies project called Do Something I decided to write this poem about race, I would love to hear your comments...
