Black Braids
Written by Sabina England
I want to run my fingers through your black braids,
unloosen your hair every night before we go to bed,
hold your hand all night while we sleep,
Dreaming sweet dreams.
Wake together in the mornings,
greet you with a kiss on the mouth,
make you breakfast to feed your soul,
And then braid your hair again,
for another new day in our lives together.
