Mocha Dream

It would only be appropriate to begin this blogging experience with a poem I wrote in October of 2002.  Only 16 at the time it was written, I feel this poem represents the woman I became over the years.  In it's short, yet powerful stanzas it also represents the woman that I want to remain.  Enjoy!

Color me whatever you may feel

Be it black, blue, red, tan, or green

Yet my true color will always shine through

I will always be a Mocha Dream

I will fall to no man's inhibitions

Calls to my heart I will always screen

For nothing or no one can change me

I will always be a Mocha Dream

I'm not your superwoman

Although to you it may seem

My influence is more than super-human

I will always be a Mocha Dream

I can work wonders without ever using my hands

My strength can outlast any weight-building team

For my resilience comes from my spirit, heart, and mind

I will always be a Mocha Dream

My love will always outweigh my anger

Passion blocks out my desire to be mean

For my life will be a thriving example of who I truly am

Forever and always, I will be a Mocha Queen.
