I Raise This Glass

I RAISE THIS GLASS

To the sparkle of your skin,
To the reflections of your diamond,
To the span of your life,
To the stride of your gait,
To the depth of your bosom,
To the glow of your skin,
I raise this glass.
To the life that your kindness had healed,
To the brokenness your soul had mended,
To the stare your beauty had slayed,
To the beautiful black angel of which you're made,
To the moments of the future you've saved,
To the happy life and fulfilment you craved,
I raise this glass.
To your special day; beautiful snowy December,
As beautiful as your black,
Whether celebrated, exploited, imitated or denigrated
Always rock your invisible crown.
The best of your life starts now.
This' a sweetener to a lovely sister not a teaser
Giving you a breather & rendering my appraisal.
I raise this glass.
Cheers!
