the people i love do not have the same color or shade of skin tone

they are beautiful and bright on their own two feet

stepping forward through the world leading with the largest hearts

these are the people i love

they believe that you can look people in the eyes

they give warmth

they give comfort 

they inspire strength and growth

these are the people i love

they are who i bring with me

who i think of throughout my day

who i ask for guidance

and ones who’s backs i have

always

whatever happens

because love can be strength and power in its own right
