A black girl with black friends in the suburbs
Have you ever heard a tale so sweet?
What divine hand of fate permitted it so
That these black girls could all meet?
—t’was as rare as a comet passing
She met a black girl who was idealistic yet grounded
And one who liked to keep her mood ring light
Another who could make her clothes from scratch
She’d never seen black girls so bright!
—t’was as rare as a comet passing
There was the black girl she could talk about anything with
And the one whose locs smelled of cypress & calm
The mother-like virgo, one year older,
Who could read you like the lines of your palm.
—t’was as rare as a comet passing
What a blessing it was for the suburban black girl
To not be the only black friend
Among others who looked nothing like her
And whose care was only pretend
—t’was as rare as a comet passing
How a group of black girls in the suburbs found each other
The white world may never know
Somehow a young girl’s oldest wish came true
O, yes…how she loved them so
—I still think of that comet passing

Hello would you mind stating which blog platform you’re using? I’m going to start my own blog soon but I’m having a tough time selecting between BlogEngine/Wordpress/B2evolution and Drupal. The reason I ask is because your design and style seems different then most blogs and I’m looking for something unique. P.S Apologies for being off-topic but I had to ask!
Good write-up. I absolutely love this site. Stick with it!
I have been browsing online more than three hours these days, yet I by no means found any interesting article like yours. It抯 pretty value enough for me. Personally, if all webmasters and bloggers made excellent content as you did, the internet can be a lot more helpful than ever before.
I do not even know the way I ended up right here, but I assumed this post was once good. I do not understand who you might be however certainly you’re going to a famous blogger for those who aren’t already 😉 Cheers!
