Love in Diversity

Diversity is not something to be afraid of
Diversity is something to celebrate

We are not ONE
We are different
We are different in structure and nature
We all are unique
None of us are alike
Let us grow higher and higher
Till we say “I love you” (to one another)
Though you differ from me!
