Grateful for the light
in my eyes that I see
and the trees that stand
tall ’n’ shade me
For the mango juice
that drips from my elbow
’n’ the sweet summer breeze
just above my knees
Grateful for my dark skin
for now I see how it
glows ’n’ it sings
Grateful for the butterflies
the birds & the bees
all things that come in time
and come with ease
This is my mango dream
