Preciously Handcrafted

"We are moving fast towards an age where people will be lovers of self, lovers of 
money, self-seeking. Self-gratifying, laying aside morality, spirituality, family 
values, and God, for self-preservation, self-gratification, and a cheap thrill.
2 Timothy 3:1-5


Beautiful, Black, Precious, and Complicated
Nothing else like it has ever been fabricated because the recipe stated the 
ingredients are outdated. And the original chef barely got credit when He made it. 
So without sounding antiquated, let me tell you how I'm rated:

My Beauty is my quality that offers pleasure to the mind or senses. It gives me a 
conspicuous essence to remonstrate the world's false pretenses.  My temple 
becomes a domineering visual aspect of grace, radiating a Saint's best quality 
on a child-like face.

I'm Bold, Black, and Original of course. I stand with full force and demonstrate my 
strength with no remorse.  It's a color of authority and power as stylish and 
timeless as an extraordinary and eloquent flower.

I am Precious, Gentle, Sweet, and Simple.  I make all my flaws seem accidental.  
A treasured soul that can't become nothing less than monumental.  It only makes 
sense that my ingredients are kept confidential.

Sophisticated and Complicated I remain, yet such a queer, audacious bird.  
Professionally e-nun-ci-a-ting every word and ar-ti-cu-la-ting every verb. Inquiring 
about uncanny intellect which remains unheard.

My aura and my persona suggests Royalty among most high.  Promising me a  
productive future and a thrill of a ride.  So the next time you happen to stumble 
across me, the child of a King, I prefer to be referred to as MISS QUEEN in your 
dialect of linguistic strings.
