No Color In Friends
We met by chance so time ago
Her heart was young and kind and full of glow
We shared a bond and an interest the same
And from the first moment I met her I felt no shame
There eyes were so sharp and frightenly untamed
Just because her skin wasn’t the same
It didn’t matter much to me
Because she was a friend I plead
I was questioned why she entered my home
And watch her hands she might take something and roam
But I didn’t feel that way at all
People were trying to make me feel small
She soon became pregnant and all alone
I went out of my way to support her decision
Because she had a dream and a vision
I couldn’t wait to see her child
With big brown eyes she looked at me and smiled
I’ve grown to love that sweet baby girl
And my black friend Denise I ‘ll hug against my skin of pearl
