My Friend From A Different Land Poem by jenni burt

i have a friend from a different land her skin is darker than mine
but, because she has darker skin, does she really differ
Greatly from me?
If she treats me as her equal because of the friendship we share
this means we have equality on the inside even though on the outside
We are not the same
She has a different position in life one that is different from mine
But, on the inside, our values remain the same this is the reason
Our friendship has remained strong throughout the years
We share a strong equality in life that's what keeps us the same
Because we have been friends a very long time
if i could share a gift with this world my gift to the world would be,
That everyone finds a friend like mine
because she means the world to me
