Strength of A BLACK Woman
Admittedly I missed it all this time
Life went along with my greatest crime
Searching outside for how to be true
Each day I now see it has always been you
If only I’d let you in on my outrageous goals
Truth is you’d remind me it’s all about souls
Ah, an extra A is evidently here, first as the last even with you my dear.
Affording things these days may be hard
Games have been played but you hold the top card
A lady once told me, she’d love me forever
Truth is she loved you, she now says not ever
How do I get back to the me you once knew?
Adjust my mindset and ask, “What would mom do?”
Row on my dear, this long river is yours
Out of bondage you brought me, with balanced oars
Somehow we still made it despite le resistance.
Shake a leg my dear, you have mastered this dance.
Alseita Ross, thank you for everything you given and not asking for a thing in return. I know of no other deserving gratitude for keeping me sane when all hell broke loose. I needed to look with your eyes and convert the pain to love.
