A Letter To My Grangdaughter
Let me tell you,
I see you with your dark brown skin,
do not be ashamed
Instead, let them stare as you prance through the fields in your summer dress
I see you, with your crazy kinky hair,
do not wear that hat
Instead, swing on that swing, as your strands become tangled in the wind
I see you with your crooked teeth,
do not smile with your lips sealed shut,
Instead, speak loud and bold, share your crookedness with the world
I see you now fearless and proud,
Don’t you dare let them snatch that from you.
