Black Boy

Joy and Tears

Black boy when I came home and I saw a little black boy lying in the arms of

our mother…JOY

Black boy when you fell and hurt your knee…TEARS

Black boy when we were flying down the street on my wheelchair or when

you got older and we are flying in the car…JOY

Black boy when I left home and could not see you every day because it

was time for me to go and live my life… TEARS

Black boy when we were hanging out and we talked about little people and

how we respect them…JOY

Black boy when people see your dread locks and judge you, they do not know

who you are; they should feel your heart...TEARS

Black boy when we went to Santa Cruz and you took me down all the steps

so I could touch the sand, even though it was going to hurt your back...

JOY AND TEARS

Black boy when I call you for the last time and mom couldn't wake you up

I said please try, but she could not wake you...

TEARS
