Beingwith YouI can't wait to get to school each dayand wai t for you to pass my way.We started out as friends. You did everythingto please me, to show me your true being.I would make a stand for you. I would take

a chance.I would even lie, even die for you.Even though I'm cool, I'd rather be your fool.

Dreaming of You inColorsI sit near my window dreaming of you.I dream good thoughts.I look into the sky hoping to see your smile.I haven't seen you in awhile.I've been waiting to see your face and feel your

warm embrace.Dreaming of you makes me think, makes me tumpink.But dreaming of you can make me confusedor I'm just feeling blue.

Rainy DaysOn rainy days I can't go out to play.I look out my windowand as the rain fallsand the thunder roarsI can hear the rain falling.dri p-drop-drip-drop.It's raining hard,and now I'm getting bored.On rainy days I can't go out to play.

MyChocolate SkinMy chocolate skin dark and smooth.My friends make fun of my chocolate skin.As a young girl I thought I was beautiful.N ow my friends laugh at my chocolate skin.},,'1ymother would say I look fine.But in my mind, it's not at all.I dream of walking through this path

full of chocolate skin kids, together,and I'm thinking, would I compare myselfto them?Their skin is so pretty.I feel like crying.My chocolate skin I look and feel bad.My mother says I look fine.But in nzy mind not at all!I like my chocolate skin after all.

My Love for YouSpreading my love around, you can count on me,good or bad.I'll be there when I'm needed. My love for you

is real.Let me help you through this since he's gone

and now he's back.My love for you is like the sun.I'll be there so I can be seen, my love for you

is bright, day or even night.My love is here. I'll never part. My love for you

is not out of sight.I'll never leave you again. My love is here.

Don't feel bad.Even though he's back I'll be here to keepyou safe.

I won't go away cause I'm here to stay.

Love Has no LimitYou better come and get it cause my love has no limit.True love has no hiding place, love is not somethingyou PUt away.I can't wait another day just to see your smiling face,but since you left things changed. I've changed.My life has changed.Why did you take my love, heart and soul?My love has no limit and now I'm in control,You were once my favorite, but now all I see

are memories.My love has no limit.

Crying Black ChildMy crying black child without a father in her life.Crying black child thinks of him day and night.She hasn't seen her father but hopes to do so.He left her alone without saying a word,she was left alone not being heard.She's my crying black child, her friends tease her,because her father wasn't there for her.

She wonders why she was left alone.Her mind is filled with love and care.She wondered why her father wasn't there.My crying black child cries no more, she lifts upher head high in the sky.I watch her grow up without her father, but she

stays strong. independent.She grew up to be a good mother.My crying black child there is no other.

Changing FacesChanging facesfaces changeMy face is round, with eyes, my lips,my nose, changing faces,faces changeI look in the mirror to see a change.My changing face is still the sameYour smile can change, Isee a change

inyour smile. But your other changes willremain the same.8
