She loved the World because she always had friends
Black, White, Asian, Latin They ate and talked and politicked She stayed to herself when things got too much But always had her trusted few to rely on They were miles away But always present Her biggest love in so many ways Lived in another land very far away Years went by, but still they talked By email skype and all the technically savvy ways She never forgot the imprint her friends made on her Chinese versions of herself and vice versa Thoughtful people who cared about humanity First generation go-getters who conquered the American Dream Shining stars who exemplified what will and determination will get you No matter the obstacles thrown in one’s path She could call on her neighbor For tips about stupid stuff that kept her obsessed She spoke in English, dreamed in French, and danced in Spanish Prayed to her Ancestors in their Afro-indigenous ways And whenever she met someone new They always found hours of conversation to consume them No matter how different they were from each other Because the biggest lesson she learned in life was to know thyself And in so doing, the World becomes a part of you
