A Poem For Our Time

As we sit here in Zambia separated by an ocean and a continent from our home, separated by race, separated by customs, separated by the foods we eat, separated by comforts we are used to, separated by the climates we are used to, we see that we are all people who want happiness, who want the best for our children, who want to be treated fairly and with respect from others, and who all want good health. We see that children universally are curious, smile readily, are willing to accept those who look different, and who can find wonderful ways to amuse themselves. I hope we can celebrate our diversities and accept others for who they are.
