i made you in the colour of coal from which beautiful diamonds are formed

i made you in the colour of oil the black gold which keeps people warm

your colour is the same as the rich dark soil that grows the food you need

your colour is the same as the black stallion and panther

all colours of the heavenly rainbow can be found in every nation

when all the colours are blended you become my greatest creation

your hair is the texture of lambs wool

i am the sheperd who watches them

i will laways watch over thee

you are the colour of the midnight sky

i put star glitter in your eyes

theres a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain thats why your cheeks are so high

you are the colour of dark clouds from the hurricanes i create in september

your structure is strong your bone structure is thick to withstand the burden of time

the reflection in the mirror that looks back is mine

so get off your knees look in the mirror and tell me what you see

i didnt make you in the image of darkness

I MADE YOU IN THE IMAGE OF ME.
