CLASS- A Ci Ci ( A Class Of Her Own )


What inspiration looks like

What dedication looks like

Let's talk about class ..

When regal , class , beauty, tirelessly and timelessly, unapologetically steals the spotlight .

Almost forever young ,ageless and brilliant in originality

Everytime she spoke ...

Yes... I smiled

Everytime she smiled 

I was proud and then I smiled Yes...

Speech -free but speechless..

Wanted to imitate her golden alkaloids and demeanor in black and white

watching pass down, history lessons in my Auntie or Aunts, living room.

 They stated y'all young girls, don't know nothing about class !

So let me tell you what class looks like

Let me show you what beauty  and brains and class looks like !

So much class as if ,serenaded by all out orchestrated Jazz!

For just an ''ahhh moment ''

a moment on the screen

Of how passionate she was with each and every line

Each and every time

And then I smiled

And just imagine something so timeless

still walking and still talking among us .

Ancestrally apart of  US

Not Apart from us

Never departing us

Such a long healthy span on this plane

Three generations of us got to witness her .

So real So loved so entirely, loved by many ...

From every class.

Iconic and Legendary

Beautifully, blueprinted ,undeniably

 In an irreplaceable class of her own.

What a class ...

A class of her own.
