Joy

Joy
Beautiful black skinned girl
Ashamed of your darkness without cause
Flashing your bright eyes and smile
You radiate your namesake, joy, and inner love
You laugh often throwing back your head, and covering your mouth       slightly with your separated fingers
We talk often and share space
Your heart so rich and hopeful
Your past so tragic
Your future unknown
I hope we meet again someday
And until that day, blessings and prayers
