A Billion Beautiful Faces

In my poem “A Billion Beautiful Faces”, I’m really just appreciating the diversity of the human race, and celebrating the “delightful differences” of each person I see from day to day.

— Katelyn Miller

 

All my life, I have been surrounded by a billion beautiful faces 

 

Each one delightfully different from the last

 

They travel in and out of my days after a simple exchanged gaze

 

Not a word spoken between us

 

But an important lesson learned

 

The lesson of admiring all of the differences in those billion beautiful faces

 

The thick accents,

The rich skin tones,

Straight hair, 

Curly hair

 

The beauty in diversity

 

The beauty in those delightful differences

 

The beauty in pure human connection

 

Our perfectly imperfect, human distinctions 

 

Is what brings the bright sun up

 

Day after day
