Skin colour should not be a barrier
Pause and think before you speak,
Skin colour ques�ons, just let it peak.
Baby's hue, not a game to play,
Love's what maters, let it stay.
Black and white, a cool blend,
Baby’s skin don't apprehend.
Why care about the colour name?
Love's the key, not the same.
My granddaughter, a mix so neat,
No family fuss, just love, no deceit.
Four years passed, no colour chat,
Love stands strong, judgment flat.
My niece and nephew, thir�es' grace,
No queries 'about their skin trace.
Skin tone talk? Nah, not here,
Love conquers all, nothing to fear.
If you're asking 'bout the unborn’ s skin,
Ask yourself, what's the reason within?
Why know if it won't change a thing?
Let go of biases, let love swing.
