My High Yella Baby Girl... a poem by my Mother

She’s my baby girl !

After many years she came along

Little did I know at the time

That she’d be so beautiful and so strong

Keep in mind that I am partial

Cause she’s my child, of course

I consider myself a very proud mother

Fore I am her life source

Not only do I love my child

I like her a whole lot too

She has a special way of seeing life

And I respect her point of view

Spiritual beliefs help define her

Her values are easy to see

My adorable baby girl

Is all I hoped she would be

High yella, that she was

With pretty straight brown hair

She had the cutest little dimpled cheeks

And skin that was truly fair

As my little one grew older

It became obvious to me

That she would have a boundless spirit

And a great personality

Education enhanced her intellect

Not to brag about her on that

But she converses most assuredly

With knowledge and with fact

She is also very generous

Extremely giving and kind

She displays a thoughtful and gentle soul

This high yella child of mine

I love her sense of humor

A trait I find very neat

I’m sure, as she travels here and there

She brings joy to those she meets

I admire her fashion sense

It reflects the latest trends

She can tell you all the current styles

For both women and for men

Her socialite side is awesome

She’s a jetsetter thru and thru

She’s aware of all upcoming events

And she knows just who is who

Looking at concluding this poem

There is so much more to say

I’ll end by saying she’s my BFF

My best friend in every way
