Analysis of Black Skin
Glenda Wade 1959 (North carolina)
I love the way you touch my black skin gently loving @ caring
I'm a black women who never knew nothing but hurt pain and sorrow
Your touch brings me light, sunshine @ joy
I never knew that my black skin could be so beautiful until your touch
Refreshing as the morning dew
I never knew
