written for the nursery rhyme contest sponsored by Eve Roper, 10 syllables per line, 12 lines. Written for the tea time picture of two girls, I see two girls from different races embracing their moment together, beyond skin and name. How beautiful the world would be, if love and kindness comes freely without stereotypes etc. I wish many more will encourage their children to spread kindness and accept each other with love and kindness. And not for color of ones skin!
As the sun filled the saffron skies with light,
Ebony and Ivory sparkled bright,
celebrating love beyond skin and name;
they knew not society's evil game,
sipping tea from a cup of compassion,
dressed in empathy and primrose passion.
They seized their moment in soft herbs of spring,
letting kind flavors of true friendship bring~
reasons to the table, as stars admire,
how their selfless affection does inspire,
the world to embrace sweet dreams, that glitter~
to dissolve beliefs that taste so bitter.
