You Are You-nique

---

This husband and I…

Hit up our favorite spot in his former hometown…a shop…full of everything…absolutely everything…

This and thats…baubles and curiosities…antiques and oddities…

Displays…interesting…clever…thought provoking…a little bit scary-movie-like…could browse for hours…

Met the resident cat…an oddity in its own right…two embryos combined…explained the owner…to create the two halves of the intriguing whole…

Watched as he followed…perching finally in the window…and that’s when it hit…this place…filled with oddities…

But are they odd…in the way one uses the word odd…unique…yes…rare…yes…but looking at those exotic blue eyes…it’s so much more than that…

And so it is…in life…labels…we give ourselves…others give us…sometimes they hurt…can cause pain…

Give them new meaning…new light…your oddities are your unique-ities…that which make you…like no one else…

You are special…you are one of kind…you are you-nique…let your light shine…
​
And this husband of mine…agrees…
