People can be your friends,
if they look different than you do
if they walk differently than you do
if they speak a language you don’t
if they wear clothes you don’t expect
if they have toys you thought they wouldn’t
if their family has different types of members than yours
if their God is different
if their religious beliefs are not what you believe
if their home is bigger, smaller, or nonexistant
People don’t have to be your twin to be “safe”.
Your neighborhood is home to people of all sizes , shapes, colors and beliefs.
Look them in their eyes and say
“Hello”
and maybe buy them coffee.
