If a tiger changed its stripes,
It would be just a cat,
If a zebra lost its colors,
It would be just a mule.

If the stars lost their light,
It would be a dark dark night,
If the ocean lost its salt,
It would be just a pool.

Sometimes, its better not to change,
Just in case you lose who you are,
So maybe for the moment,
You should try and be,
More like you.

    I really like this.
    It had me thinking at the beginning
    I like the way it flows too.
    It's all true when you think about it.
    Nice job :)
