“A True Friend (Cherry Smile)”

Keep me in the presence of your cherry smile
And hold me with your mind
Your cherry smile fills me up inside
Your vow of friendship
Has been true
With good surprise
Cherry smile
With your style
I know you could be my bride
Because in no time
You’ve taken my waters
From low to high tide
Even though we have polar views
You have respected my black pride
From a different world you have come
Confronting issues that most would run from
You have been good to me from the start
So for you there is nothing that I won’t do
From my heart
You have done so much for me
In just a little while
More then most of the people
I’ve know my whole lifetime
And your genuine concern
For those you don’t know
Was a definite sign of love
That you unconsciously showed
And I know
That you would never deny
The ties that bind
Unlike most who discriminate
And categorize with differences
I was surprised
When I realized
That view wasn’t in your eyes
I should have known
When I first saw your cherry smile
Never forget Jeanine
That you are a star on high
In my eye
