People say that variety is the spice of life, and they would be right. Life has much to offer, in ranges and shades.

The food we eat, clothes we wear, books we read and even the pets we keep all have types and variations. Each dish we partake of and little dog we welcome into our home has unique traits that separate it from everything else in the world.

Yes, life is an intricate, cleverly-woven, vari-colored tapestry. We celebrate and appreciate our differences. Each of us has afew that separate us from everything else.

Yes, life is a multi-colored tapestry, and let's be thankful for this little sonnet.

Colored coat, its threads entwined,

Unique and set apart;

Sewn with care, with threads so fine

Well-formed, a work of art.

Colored coat, each piece distinct

Each has a tale to tell

Each thread so bold, but all well-synced

And bound together well

Tinted hues, same yet unlike

Combined, shine fresh and bold

Each colored thread, fine and bright

Together, bound, well-sewn

Colored coat, same yet unique

Sewn threads, none can compete.
