Dear Beautiful Black Man

Dear Beautiful Black Man,

I wish the world could see you through my eyes.

Strong.

You carry the weight of yesterday and tomorrow on your shoulders while balancing it all with a smile and absolute grace.

I wish the world could see you through my eyes.

Beautiful.

Vanilla,caramel, mahogany or chocolate skin with eyes deeper than the sea and a mind as captivating as the honey and the bees.

I wish the world could see you through my eyes.

Hero.

There is no battle that you cannot win and no obstacle that you cannot overcome.

I wish the world could see you through my eyes.

Courageous.

You have a robust heart that keeps on beating even when the odds are against you.

You’re the hope for our future. You’re the perfect light this dark world needs.

I just wish the world could see you through my eyes, strong, beautiful, black man.
