My Take on Fate's Straight Traits

There are many qualities
that make us all, unique;
like everyone's faces,
or each one's physique.
Some people are very strong,
others, quite weak;

and we all hail from different places.

We also share similarities,
making us seem the same.
We may share the same birthday,
or even a name;
prefer the same music,
or a picture in a frame.

Or, we each may achieve things in a similar way.

Traits can cause the appearance of, ugly,
I tend to celebrate, beautiful.
The traits I mention in this verse,
are all the traits, wonderful;
and this piece is to honor,
the one's that make people's lives full;

and those that make us better people, when times are worse.

Fate's Straight Traits, whew... what a tongue-twister! I totally agree with the very valid points made within this piece, and especially liked the ending. Nicely done.
