Analysis of Blood of A Different Color
Robin Marie Sanborn 1962 (concord, NH)
Blood Of A Different Color
My father sees his blood run through me
as his daughter.
My father sees my daughter as his
granddaughter.
My father has yet to see his his blood run
through his my grandchildren,
For they're his Blood Of A Different Color.
Even though my father's blood runs through
them,
he can't see past their color.
For many years another man has played the
the part of my father,
even though his blood doesn't run through
them, he never saw no color.
He only saw the blood of the woman he loved.
He never looked at my grandchildren as
Blood Of A Different Color.
He only saw the beauty inside each of them,
Now he's gone, but not forgotten, for children
don't forget those who loved them,
and saw no color.
If only my blood father could see past the
Color,
Then he too could see the beauty inside
His Blood Of A Different Color
