My Face

Skin cinnamon brown
What once was oval now is round

Almond shaped eyes with different color shades
Depending on what mood I'm in on that day

Nose just wide enough to fit my face
With a nose ring on the side, which for 13 years has held that place

White teeth and a nice smike filled with pleasentry
That same smile can quickly turn to a frown if you try to cross me

God made me original, there's no one else that looks like me
OH........except for that man and woman child of a butterscotch hue that happen to 
be my off spring!!
