UPLIFTING POEM"JUST THE WAY YOU ARE" BY SAMUEL JAMES

If only flowers would realize

How beautiful they are

They would stop swaying from left to right

To the flattery whispers of the wind

If only the sea knew how pretty she is

She'd stop whooshing in response

To the twinkling of the flirty night stars

Who would tell the sun that her smile

Makes the universe blush

And even the cock has a crush on her yellow

That's why it crows her rays out of slumber

And you, my dear was created

With the perfect clay carefully chosen

By the creator, your skin a perfect attire

For your bones. So let no man deceive you

You're beautiful just the way you are.

The poet persona personalises heavenly bodies and praises their beautiful effects upon the earth. Importantly, he admires the women with black skin and says the latter should not be discouraged by the negative words of any man.
