Black By Design

Black by Design 

Life 
sparkles
in 
sultry,
smoky eyes.    
Velvet 
smooth, 
black skin      
patterned from 
heart and soul of
Africa’s  
fertile
womb…    
cherished 
creation
fashioned 
by  
breath of 
God!

My dear Pandita. This is such a lovely verse. As I'm sure you are well too aware, your personal beauty has nothing to do with the color of your skin. Your beauty is on display every time you put pen to paper. Your heart is one of the most most beautiful I've ever encountered. Hadn't heard from your pen in a while and thought I'd drop in. Hope all is well. Missing your heart smile. Peace and God Bless.

Dear Daniel, thank you so very much for your heartfelt, beautiful, inspirational words which mean so much to me and brought sunshine into an otherwise dreary day! Thank you for the warmth and for checking on me! I have been distracted by work and other issues but I'm ok and hope to get back into the swing of things very soon! Wishing you a wonderful weekend and much blessings. Pandita
