    What is Normal

    I remember high school
    and hearing people say
    that that guy isn't normal
     because he acts some way
    just because he's different
    from you or from me
    it doesn't make him any less;
    or not a human being
    exactly what is normal
    someone just like you
    that club would be exclusive
    there's not even two
    everybody's different
    in some little way
    nobody's perfect
    at least that's what they say
    acknowledge our differences
    they make us who we are
    if we can't embrace them
    we won't get too far
    go ahead and do it
    take a look around
    that guys kinda skinny
    and that guys kinda round
    That guy is tall
    and that guy is short
    that girl kinda chuckles
    and that girl kinda snorts
    we all are unique
    like the snowflakes that fall
    but when we come together
    we are beautiful to all

    have I said yet that I really appreciate your perspective and home-spun wisdom....you have a voice and it is very clear. keep writing.

    Poetry is what gets lost in translation.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
