My mama is so black,

when the lights are shut,

we only see her brilliant eyes

like shining stars in the sky

"My Mama is so white" when white Doves flyby,

it looks like she is one of the gracious flock!

Berylline

My Mama is such a WHITE Italian, 

when she walks by near her home

I think she is part of MichelAngelo's angels!

My Mama is so white,

when it snows In icy winterery days....

we believe she is a snow woman!

My Mama is so yellow that people think she is one of the sunflowers in the field!

My Mama was so white that people thought...

she was everyone's 'Milk and Honey' and she was indeed.

My Mama is so reddish-tan and bronzed,

The sun smiles at her with exceptional delight.

 My Mama was so white that the Vickings thought she was a serene mermaid on the Oseberg ship...
