Differences- a ”pome” a day keeps the doctor away

DIFFERENCES
(The title of the poem Differences,refers to” Learning Differences,”including Dyslexia which several children are found to have. See footnote.)



What are differences?

Are they like different colours in a rainbow?

How exhilarating they are to the senses

We wouldn’t wish rainbows without their colours’ glow

IT’S THE SAME sky of knowledge we know.


There are so many different flowers,

Every hue and design and size

All growing with the same showers

All making the whole garden win a prize!

IT’S THE SAME garden of knowledge we must realize.


Tropical colours and variety of form,

Take your breath away, it’ s mesmerizing!

The supreme quietness of the myriad norm,

We wouldn’t wish the underwater scene to be less surprising

IT’S THE SAME sea of knowledge albeit differences comprising.


So many children studying

Some good in one thing, some in others,

So much difference, all trying & vying

We wouldn’t wish classes having clones, not brothers

IT’S THE SAME school of knowledge producing Edisons and Hampshires. end
Footnote; if all schools admit and accommodate the children with learning differences; it will be a very economically sound step for society as a whole!This poem shows that Dame nature is very accommodating of differences. There is so much bio-diversity, everywhere you look. If us human beings were a tithe more accommodating than we are, many problems would be solved at least on the educational front ( to be continued).
