Brown

Pride within my Skin

The color brown is cultured and rich like urban sound.

Deeply rooted and standing tall and strong in society,

Brown is a historical tree of sweet success;

giving homage to some of our nation's best.

The color brown keeps me grounded and fills me with pride;

it's the kind of feeling that you can't hold inside.

The kind of feeling that soothes and comforts like your mother's love.

It's bountiful and loving giving love to the love less,

I must confess the color brown is simply the best.

The color brown is profound like Mother Earth,

wonderful like a newborn's birth,

giving life its sweet worth,

take it or leave it that's just how it is because the color brown gives life its fizz.

The color brown has rhythm and soul,

this color makes me whole.

Like that old southern church service on Sunday morning,

singing that one song before the sermon,

that gets deep down within your soul,

and moves your emotions to make you get on your feet.

It's like praising God you can't sit in your seat.

The color brown has a story to tell with years of ancestral greatness.

Stories that paints a vivid pictureof happy days with beautiful sunrays,

giving you a glimpse of the past filled with memories of tears shed,

through the many years of brown's struggles with painful fears,

and open wounds that bled.

With pleasurable heavens and seemingly unending hells,

each story enlightens and takes on a different path,

guided by a different light,

seen through the eyes of those with the gift of hindsight.

The color brown is a complexion of many shades,

with amazing beauty like the Florida Everglades.

Smooth like milk chocolate and sweet like honey dew,

all these things I say is true.

My color is the color brown,

so how does your favorite color,

make you feel about you?
