Diversity Poem by Mimie Durand

Some are destined for success
Some are destined to fail,
Some yearn to be strong
Some sickly and frail.

Some want to be loved
None want to be despised,
Some thrive to be good
Some need to be chastised.

One wants to be beautiful
The other doesn’t care,
Some want to be correct
Others seem to err.

Whatever life we are destined
Whatever our dreams may be,
Whatever needs life demands
We all love and hate to some degree.
