The fingerprint,
The eye,
The strand of hair.
The little things.
Each is different,
Each makes us who we are,
Gives us an identity.
Every little line in a fingerprint,
Every fleck of color in the eye,
Every shade that transitions to another on a strand of hair.
These little things make us who we are.
These little things amaze us.
