In The Names Of God

One of the greatest Gifts
was given long ago
A Gift granted for us all
and sent to help us grow
Meant to teach everyone
about one another as we go
Upon the raging river
caught within its undertow
Inside the light above
transformed into a rainbow
The Gift is our Diversity
many differences that show
Varied faiths and cultures
in beautiful colors to overflow
Within children and families
we all should seek to know
Sharing life’s experiences
our pleasure and our woe
All differences have become
one loving Gift to bestow
In The Names of God
we share the same Perfect Glow
