Sundress, flip flops
Afro
Baby had beauty
Like a black pearl
Spotted her walking all by herself
So I jogged across the street
She asked could she help me
I said yes
Can we just walk
You talk I listen
For you I'll sell my shoes
To pay attention
And did I mention
You beautiful
Can I tag along
Wherever you choose to go
She paused and asked
What is your name again
I told her I'm moses
She said no really
No really my mom chose it
She smiled and said that's cool
I'm Raven
I'd be happy to walk and talk with you
She began walking and talking
While I listened
She had that type of precious
In her presence that made hours feel like minutes
She had a bunch of opinions
Some about politics some about religion
Then she spoke of her family
How her paps abandoned them
Her moms was in the slammer
Her drinking habits had gotten too bad to handle
Then she spoke of how
She worked two jobs while taking online classes to afford her one bedroom apartment
Where her and her little sister
Who lived with her
Slept at
With no mom no dad
Her little sister's name is Emma
And she's always asking when they're mom and dad is coming back
Where is she now I asked
She's at school Raven replied
Glancing at her watch
She said aww I'm out if time
Got to be on time for work with that strict boss of mine
Raven out stretched her hand
And said i enjoyed walking and talking with you
Maybe we can go again some time and Emma can come to
See ya Moses
I waved goodbye as she jogged up the sidewalk and disappeared
Wow I thought
She's perfect
I hope to see her soon
To tell her my story
