TUESDAY THOUGHTS: POETRY PROMPT----LITTLE BLACK GIRLS IN THE WHITE HOUSE



I close my eyes
And the pictures that my mind starts to play
Are really great
It's nothing like
The ordinary that I see when I'm awake
But that's okay
I've been accused of wishful thinking
And my multicolored, way out there dreaming
Is just because I've been taught to hope
And I believe in Peace
And chasing rainbows

I'm in love with Love
And think there's good in everybody
If you just take the time to look
And looking for the things that I don't even see
Should tell you just a little bit about me
The childlike wonder in my heart, and my mind--
It doesn't take much to arouse
I feel so many possibilities
Some things I never thought I would ever see
Yes, there are visions happily dancing about
Like little Black girls in the White House

Never been there before
But I'm going
Don't know the ins and outs
But I'll be an expert, soon enough
There will be nobody to keep me bound
Or keep me out
And I'll be free
Like little Black girls in the White House

An over forty-something dream
I'd really love for my over-eighty Daddy to see
Ooo, I can feel it!
A welcomed change within, and without
And I'll be strong
Where I belong
Like little Black girls
In the White House
