You are not the color of
your hair,
Nor are you the color of
your skin.
It makes no difference,
short or tall;
Doesn't matter whether fat
or thin.
You are not the car you
own or drive;
Nor the clothes you choose
to wear.
You might even have a
disability
Which causes other folks
to stare.
True, we all look
very different
Which helps us to know who
is who.
But, peel away the outer
wrapping
And then you can find the
"real you".
You are the smile you give
to all,
The kindness you show
every day.
The helping hand you offer
to another
When things don't go their
way.
You are the one with kind
words
When a friend is feeling
so down.
You are the arms that
offer a hug
Helping their sorrows to
drown.
You are God's image
in your soul.
And His love lives in the
heart.
We are created with no two
alike
Only so others can tell us
apart.
Who we really are comes
from within,
The things we believe, the
things we do.
Nothing on the outside can
tell us,
And only God knows the
real you.
