Here's to you. Her I mean.
Chubby cheeks and all.
Red the colour of your anger -
Better to hide the fact that you were lost as to what happened.
Your initial curiosity highlighted by 'that' spark in your eyes,
The innate inquisitiveness; the force of character
Oh yes! Mama Africa found a worthy daughter in your skin
-Stronger yet than you'd expect.
Trans-planted, formed into something entirely new
Will you ever have a redemption song?
Will it be a shout into silence?
-Or shots ... Vodka. On the rocks. In those sturdy glasses.
Yes! Mama Africa's daughter.
Beauty untold.
Head held high.
Unshakable beliefs. Only a pause now and then to distract those who try to get too close.
Here's to you.
