Resounding Reciprocity
your friends hardly recognize you
your vitiligo so effected your self esteem
we all got together to make a spotlight day for you
for once you cry happy tears when you tell us you feel beautiful
i then recite a poem for you while a crown is put on your head
you sit at the head of the royal table still in shock and disbelief
as i attempt to bow at your royal feet, you stop me halfway
you brush your lips against mine and tell me Love Is King and God Is Love today
you then take my hand and we go to our little secret place
here skin and looks do not matter....only friendship and admiration
you brush your lips against mine again and whisper a thank you in my ear
i tell you beauty is in the eyes of the beholder of friendship and doing unto others
it was our turn now to give a little something to you....to say....an exclamatory THANK YOU....
