“Beauty”
By Martha Tipton
Long hot summer nights a symphony
Sound of the locust and katydid
In rhythm with the light of fireflies
A song, I listened to the stories told
Forefathers of yesterdays past
Long ago days felt I had to mask
Black, brown, fair skin, defined lips
Coarse hair, through time I realized
God created all, in his image
“Beauty of His Creations, Character of the Spirit”
