Treasure

CATEGORY

Views: 348


From the poised and dignified way that you carry yourself
Strong and proud
You are a treasure

You’ve carried the load of your descendants
Accepting all of the negativity thrown your way
You are a treasure

You’ve set the standard and made the perfect mold for the younger generations to see
How a strong black woman’s supposed to be
You are a treasure

Sepia skin tones define your beauty
Words of wisdom flows melodically from your full lips
Your eyes contain the history that’s lost on today’s youth
Your hands have toiled the soil that we so readily ignore
You are a treasure

You wear your heritage proudly like a suit of armor
Protecting you from the racism and hate that still prevails in society in this day and time
Your spirit is not broken
Your spine remains straight
Despite the problems and burden you’ve had to carry upon your shoulders
You are a treasure

Your head remains high by reclaiming the confidence that many have been stripped of along the way
And you still smile with the grace of a majestic being
Remaining profound and maintaining your crown
You are a treasure
You are truly a strong black queen
