I couldn\'t stop thinking about the girl

I couldn\'t stop thinking about the girl

She was just so happy and pretty

Her hair was black with many curls

 

That picture—Ana was dressed in pearls

Like the night stars in heaven glitter

Streaming bright like vagrant star-dust swirl

 

Then a torrent of words unfurled

So I wrote her this little ditty

To the most beautiful girl in the world

 

Her silky skin burnished like mahogany burl

Beaming bright where she was sitting

I couldn\'t stop thinking about the girl

 

Bayahíbe Rose, by God’s hand, impearled

Drizzled with little raindrops brightly glinting

I couldn\'t stop thinking about the girl


The tiny girl smiles with strings of Pearl

Her tilted head with innocent eyes twinkling

Holding captive all our eyes, Dominican girl

For you girl, the party’s jingling and tinkling
