The Sweetest Thing

 

The sweetest thing that ever lived

Was high yellow girl,

 born on August 23, 1979

With light brown eyes 

And a beautiful smile.

Her smile lit up the sky and

every room she entered 

 Too tomboyish for the girls’ world at large

And too strong for the boys to wrath upon

To arrogant to be part of the crowd

Her shoulders strong as boulders 

Pressed high among the clouds

Her long legs run wild with the wind

Breathe with long of jet black hair

The sweetest thing that ever lived

Was high yellow girl, 

Born on August 23, 1979

 Amongst the stars she shines

and like butterflies she camouflages

in her own skin. 

Day dreaming about tomorrow

And in the wind she soars

Never afraid, fearless

She was the sweetest thing I ever known.

In fact the sweetest thing that ever lived.
