Mr. Africa Poetry Lounge!
The spotlight you gave to me
Your smile lights the world
and hides your pain, so well.
For it's me that you let shine,
above all else.
A gentle flower,
soft and fragile
you handle me with care.
Precious and delicate
loving me, you dare.
As I dance free
and I sing my song,
you stand by me the whole
while through.
Proudly you glance my way
As souls come alive,
from words you wrote for me.
Not once did you take my fame away.
You gave me, my special day
and stood off to the side
so no one could see.
That if it wasn't for you,
there would be no me.
So please know, that I notice
all that you have done.
You gave up all your hopes and
dreams, for me.
Just to let my light shine.
How could I ever thank you,
for loving me.
