BOND, by                    
First Line: When fellow-creatures thoughtlessly inflame you
Last Line: And know they like you just the way you are!
Subject(s): Brotherhood


When fellow-creatures thoughtlessly inflame you
By ridiculing things you hold most dear --
And for the discord give you all the blame, you
Conclude you must be "Just a little queer;"

When "something of a freak" they choose to brand you,
How like the twinkling of a friendly star,
To meet the smiles of those who understand you,
And know they like you just the way you are!
