Creature
of earth, sea, star, sun
bronzed your skin as
one
who plays on ocean's
shore,
with sky as blue as
waves
gently splashing your
feet
as you slowly walk the beach
-
cool, the breezes from the
sea
that play with your long black
hair
while refreshing your
face,
features well befitting your
race
of long years Nature so
formed,
to a happy, warm people you
belong
blissfully far removed from
our
civilization full of hustle, bustle,
strife,
may your innocent happiness last a long
time
as you enjoy the blessings of the starry
night,
the earth, the sea, and the
sun.
