A Colorful People


 

A Colorful People

People reflect the spectrum.

They come in different colors.

Glorious shades greet daylight.

Beauty graces their many gifts.

 

The Black race is most prolific.

Their color range titillates our eyes.

Some are as dark like charcoal.

Others appear like a sparkling white.

 

But what does different colors mean?

Why do people talk about color?

Is a person’s color really important?

These are some questions that matter.

 

Africans hear stories of the Black race.

Europeans learn what it means to be White.

Asians are referred to as being Yellow.

While Native Americans are viewed as Red.

 

Our nation is in the colors of the rainbow.

Their gifts transcend their ethnic groups.

Diversity is an underlying strength of all people.

That’s why America is so richly blessed.
