In The Eyes Of The Beholder Poem by Gary Halsey Sr.

Beauty is all around us,
can’t you see?
God’s sculptured everyone,
including you and me.

I never stereotype,
this is so true,
because unto his own likeness,
He made me and you.

Flawless, yet imperfect,
this is a fact,
If we were all perfect,
how would we act?

How we differ,
from one to the other,
is of no consequence,
to our heavenly father.

So if you see something different,
in the way someone appears,
Don’t stare or criticize,
don’t laugh, don’t leer.

For if we were all perfect,
what a dull place this would be,
I rather be different,
I’d rather be me!

For in his own likeness,
like I said before,
Is how he made us,
and this I adore.

So if I am white, or black, or yellow too,
I could care less,
what you think,
or I think of you!

If I am skinny, or plump,
and don’t have the best Physique,
I know who made me,
he thinks I’m neat!

We need to remember,
who made us this way,
God loves us all,
each and every day!
