Short, dyed, Afro
braided, or in dreads
Dont you ever drop your head
Let be raised to the clouds,
which is its rightful place
and let nothing less
than the look of pride decorate
your beautiful Black Face
Created in endless shades of colors and hues
When God created the rainbow,
he must have been inspired,
by you
You birth me, nurtured me, and raised me,
bestowed upon me, degrees of love
that would take me a lifetime, to understand
You were the woman,
that made me a man
What would I be, who would I be
where would I be, without you?
You are Mother, Wife, Lover
Girlfriend, Sister, Daughter, Friend
Confidant, Provider, Healer all at once
Shifting from one to the next so effortlessly
We dont realize the toll it takes on you
Yet you never lets us see, your tears
You just get up and start
all over again the next day
I would like to apologize for those
who do not know as some of us do
Dont give up on us
Although I know you never will
In closing, I shall speak for those of us
Who do know of your greatness
We love you, cherish every breath, you breathe
and if need be, we will lay down our lives
for you
