I talked to Grammy yesterday <br />about a girl I know. <br />Her skin’s a different color <br />but I like her, even though <br /> <br />the other children tease her <br />and it makes her run away <br />because she looks so different <br />and they never let her play. <br /> <br />I think she looks just beautiful! <br />Her skin is chocolate brown. <br />She’s the nicest girl I’ve ever met <br />and it’s sad to see her frown. <br /> <br />Grammy held me on her lap <br />and told me she was proud. <br />She said that’s what’s important <br />and then my gram allowed <br /> <br />that children are life's rainbow, <br />black and yellow, red and white, <br />but the colors aren't what matter, <br />it's what's down deep inside. <br /> <br />I asked her if that’s what it means <br />when we say we’re colorblind. <br />She smiled and said it should mean that <br />in all hearts and in all minds.<br /><br />C.J.
