There have been plenty of times when Lupita Nyong'o was basically perfect [2], and as if she wasn't lovable enough, the actress has really brought her cuteness to a new level with a poem written just for fans. On Monday, Lupita posted a poem [3] on Instagram to thank fans for their support, wish them happy holidays, and look back on her exciting year. Here's what she wrote:
This year was one of a kind,
And a kind one to me.
There was lots to be done,
And a whole lot to see.
I had family and friends,
And colleagues galore,
Now I have fans,
Plus a million and four.
You tweet and you post
And you instagram too.
You chat, comment, draw,
You just do what you do.
And though I don't answer 'Cause time is a-tickin', Know that you matter
By the posts that I'm pickin'. I keep posting 'Cause I know that you care,
And I care to post
When I know that you're there.
So this season,
Though I know your name not,
I'm happy I got you,
And that I gave what you got.
I wish for you peace,
Love, joy, laughter beams,
And in the new year,
May you live out your dreams!
(And as Dr. Seuss says:)
"If things start happening,
don't worry, don't stew,
just go right along
and you'll start happening too." Love, Lupita N.
