We know simply <br />by the grace of God <br />humanity continues <br />with most of us odd. <br />The humor of God <br />amuses me so <br />as I watch the oddities <br />come and go. <br /> <br />Each one is so different <br />and yet the same. <br />And what is the reason <br />is God to blame? <br />He gave us the mold <br />which none of us fit. <br />We try to fit into it <br />bit by bit. <br /> <br />It's a task so humorous. <br />It's beyond belief. <br />For our short trip through life <br />is much too brief. <br />We try to conform <br />but most of us fail. <br />And the insignificant differences <br />really just pale. <br /> <br />We've a life to live <br />and so much to give <br />that the oddities we've developed <br />we must forgive. <br />God's humor is ours. <br />It's part of his plan <br />to bypass the oddities <br />and do what we can <br />to laugh.<br /><br />Edwina Reizer<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/oddities/
