Ultimately, People Are More Alike than Different

For the past few years, my mother has been sending her kids lots of written stuff she has accumulated over the years. She recently sent the following poem, and I thought I would share it with here. I preserved the ALL CAPS, because I just don't have the energy to fix it. 

SOME PEOPLE I KNOW

SOME PEOPLE I KNOW LIKE TO CHATTER, WHILE OTHERS SPEAK HARDLY A WORD.

SOME THINK THERE IS NOTHING THE MATTER WITH BEING COMPLETELY ABSURD.

SOME ARE IMPOSSIBLY SERIOUS, WHILE OTHERS ARE ABSOLUTE FUN.

SOME ARE RESERVED AND MYSTERIOUS, WHILE OTHERS SHINE BRIGHT AS THE SUN.

SOME PEOPLE I KNOW APPEAR SOUR, BUT MANY SEEM PLEASANT AND SWEET.

SOME HAVE THE GRACE OF A FLOWER, WHILE OTHERS TRIP OVER THEIR FEET.

SOME ARE AS STILL AS A STEEPLE, WHILE SOME NEED TO FIDGET AND FUSS.

YET EVERY LAST ONE OF THESE PEOPLE IS SOMEHOW EXACTLY LIKE US.
