your skin is like vanilla frosting
My skin is like chocolate cake
Sure love can be somewhat exhausting
But liking me is not a mistake
So eyes, glossed like glass, can stare all they do
Because what I'm about to say is entirely true
Love does not have a certain color
Race does not prevent us from being friends or lovers
like me for who he is, not what color his skin happens to be
And I feels exactly the same you
do you like the way my skin shines
And the way youre always on my mind
The way we both can relate in any way
We can be serious, sad, or happy and play
We frown, we cry, we grin, we laugh, we smile and scream
And every night, no matter what, you re sometimes a in my dreams
So why should it matter the color of our skin?
Exactly, it doesn't and it never will
Words and looks can hurt but do not kill
So stare all you want, say all you want, it will not destroy our friendship, love and care
But let me say it is not fair
Hope it will not make you change, will not make me change
Will not make us the same
We are all unique in so many ways, so independent
It is good to be a little or a lot different
So why don't you join along with the rest of us and be your own self
Because it is not always fun to be the robot and just like everyone
Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.
Learn from the past, set vivid, detailed goals for the future, and live in the only moment of time over which you have any control: now
Problems are not stop signs, they are guidelines.
Anything you cannot relinguish when it out live its usefulness" it possesses you..and in its materialistic age avg rest many of us are possessed by our possession
Do not suppress it..that would hurt you inside...do not express it this would not only hurt you inside it would cause ripples inside you..what you do is transform

It doesn't interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart's longing.
It doesn't interest me how old you are. I want to know if you will risk looking like a fool for love, for your dream, for the adventure of being alive.
It doesn't interest me what planets are squaring your moon. I want to know if you have touched the centre of your own sorrow, if you have been opened by life's betrayals or have become shrivelled and closed from fear of further pain.
I want to know if you can sit with pain, mine or your own, without moving to hide it, or fade it, or fix it.
I want to know if you can be with joy, mine or your own; if you can dance with wildness and let the ecstasy fill you to the tips of your fingers and toes without cautioning us to be careful, be realistic, remember the limitations of being human.
It doesn't interest me if the story you are telling me is true. I want to know if you can disappoint another to be true to yourself. If you can bear the accusation of betrayal and not betray your own soul. If you can be faithless and therefore trustworthy.
I want to know if you can see Beauty even when it is not pretty every day. And if you can source your own life from its presence.
I want to know if you can live with failure, yours and mine, and still stand at the edge of the lake and shout to the silver of the full moon, 'Yes.'
It doesn't interest me to know where you live or how much money you have. I want to know if you can get up after the night of grief and despair, weary and bruised to the bone and do what needs to be done to feed the children.
It doesn't interest me who you know or how you came to be here. I want to know if you will stand in the centre of the fire with me and not shrink back.
It doesn't interest me where or what or with whom you have studied. I want to know what sustains you from the inside when all else falls away.
I want to know if you can be alone with yourself and if you truly like the company you keep in the empty moments.
