ALL THE SHADES OF LOVE
I met a man the other day. His words melted my heart and took my breath away.
Our focuses were well defined, until we mentioned his color and mine.
A simple man, who had a kind soul, walked into my life and made me whole.
It is a complex thing, this thing called love. It’s precious and gentle as a beautiful white glove.
The white and the black are simple colors, why do we count them as such a disease. Yes, I’m black and he’s white, and yes, we love each other.
Our shades of love go beyond the colors of the skin. It is the shades of red for love, blue for tradition, green for freedom, and yellow for the flowers I enjoy sharing after being picked from our garden.
I’ve realized that life is not always black and white. It’s filled full of color. People need to know like I have that there are all the shades of love.
