What My Eyes See Now
Sadly we are a product of our upbringing...
We were taught to see in color but not of speaking...
Not long ago I met a lady from Kenya who changed my eyes...
Not a racist by any means, I just never had a chance to
test the why's...
She is covered in beauty in and out, with a heart
so deep and a soul that shouts...
She taught me to express myself in anyway, from
words to painting just have my say...
I don't see her as black or white, just an angel who
took my heart to flight...
The words you read today are an influence of what
she gave me and how I've grown....
Without her in my life these words wouldn't be shown...
I can never pay back this lesson learned in race, for
I am forever grateful and just see Wendy, not in color just
true beauty and grace...
