beautiful black
girl…
daydreaming of unexpected treasure washed upon the shore
randomly gathering shells and relishing the days of no
worries, concerns or cares
beautiful black girl…
innocently digging holes in the sand
running from the waves on bandy legs like a sandpiper
bird
never knowing that the waters of life will catch her
soon enough
lost in the motion of her thoughts that carry her heart
to distant places
returning with the tide
and going back out to sea again
beautiful black girl…
see yourself as more than what the world says that you
are
the thoughts of your Creator towards you outnumber the
grains of sand in your pail
how wonderful you are to Him
be true to yourself and to your dreams
and always keep a smile
as you chase the tide
