I look at the lake 

I see different shades of blue

Egyptian blue

Savoy blue

Lavender blue

Periwinkle blue

Midnight blue

Picotee blue

These shades co-exist side by side

Creating a harmonious whole

People come in different shades too

If we appreciate our oneness

And co-exist peacefully

Like the different shades of blue on the lake

We’ll create a magnificent tableau

A world that is beautiful, diverse and united
