Liberian Girl

If beauty was a person, it would certainly be a Liberian girl

Behind those dark clouds, she is an angel yet to be seen 

Her smooth natural skin resembles the red earth 

Her lip is a place where sleeping dogs lie to appease themselves 

Her eyes are made of rays of colorful lights that restore hope 

Her beautiful earrings take a triangular shape indicating A=1/2bh 

Her ears are sensitive to uphold to the ups and downs of life 

Her short and pretty nose is admired by every suitor 

Hair nicely positioned at all edges serving different looks

Hands are tempting to touch just for a moment 

She wears a smile of imperfections striving towards perfection 

For if beauty was a person, it would certainly be a Liberian girl
