word art.

i've got chocolate hands
thick brown lips
i'm a slouching black woman with no hips!

i got some thick hair
a lil backside
that summer flavor and Caribbean pride.

i can't sing a note
to save my life
but i know someday i'd make you a good wife.

and i love children
their snotty nose
and their ten fingers and ten toes.

the house don't matter
once the mortgage's paid
and the walls are sturdy and the foundation's well laid.

i've got that good love
and much more to give
these chocolate hands seem small but they're really big.

and they'll welcome you
after a long day
and hold you tightly, till those work blues go away.

ears that will listen
i've got a golden heart
that can open it's doors for you, if you want.

but i can't really cook 
though i bake well
i'd have the house bubbling with that sweet bread smell.

my family's a keeper
and i'll mesh into yours
till death do us part, from singular to ours.

did i mention
that i love animals?
i'd always dreamt of living on a farm with many mammals.

i've got some dreams
and visions so visionary
i'd like to share them someday, if you let me.

anything else
you may want to know
will reveal itself, as together we grow.

so let me know
if you like this package 
you can give me a call or send an email message.

p.s. - i come with no baggage.

as long as your foundation is well laid that's all that's important.
Oh, I like many mammals too.
I've got seven turtles and three pigs.
no baggage? wait a minute...that's not normal.
