My Fine Friend
My Fine Counsel
A true definition of the color –
Ebony

Your teeth sparkle
The sparkling white is charmy
On a redded-lips
Takes my breath away

The smiles
The smile on your face
Is likened to the full moon tonight
Shining over the dark night

Eyes gazing
Into the future
With hope and excitement
Despite the hopelessness
Your face brings hope

Hmmm…
I see your cheeks
Well polished
Lined with distinct coutour
Within your well-curved dimples

So comes hope
From the tiny cracks
We see hope
To survive in darkness

Emboldened with confidence
Just as you want to be
You are beautiful,
Ageless flying through the ages
My ebony sparks of hopes
Thank you for being here
To give hope and laugher

I celebrate You!
