I ve loved the black since I was born

I’ve loved the black since I was born,
But sunlight beats the dark, I swear.
You say my path is way too low,
Yet my heart’s full of joy, you know.

The whole world doesn’t get who I am,
My friends can’t feel what’s in my soul.
Everything’s for sale – bucks and cents,
But not with God – He’s the final judge.

No matter how long I’m stuck in the dark,
I’ve never heard words so true, so stark:
You’re leaning into your sorrow, friend,
But FAITH AND LOVE will win in the end!

Yours truly,
Assorov, Saint Petersburg Christian University, 2018
