'Not That Much Differece In You Or Me' Poem by Linda Winchell

She wears diamonds on her fingers,
And rings upon her toes.
Hair braided in vivid colors of the rainbow,
With three golden rings, that dangle from her nose.

Tattoos surround both ankels,
Tattoos around her neck and arms.
Using all she can to proudly display,
All of her womanly and many earthly charms.

But those who gaze upon her display,
Of what she feels is artfull and ornate,
Are those who look upon her flamboyance,
With true discuss and display of hate.

Yet she doesn't pay too much attention,
To those who look at her that way.
For she knows in her heart that she's a child of God,
Who made each of us,
In his or her special and uniquie kind of way.

So when you see another,
That seems much different than you or me,
Remember that true beauty is in the eye of the beholder,
And there is much more beneath than what one sees.
