My hair and I have been thru it
For awhile I was in love with itAs a child I was taught you're only pretty if you have long pretty hairSo I took pride in my mixed breed hairHad a sassy attitude Used to think I was so much pretty than youI whipped itI flipped itBrushed it like crazyHeard compliments all dayTil one day I realized I dont need my hair to define meFor my beauty is inside of meI have cut my hairDyed my hairHated my hairLoved my hairNow I have covered my hairGiven God my hairPrayed over my hairSee my hair and I are on a new rideAnd in the end we both will survive

3 lil minisSo there are 3lil mini me running round One light,one slightly dark,one caramel brownAll beautiful and precious in my sightWhenever I feel down they know how to spread lightSharia,princess is her meaningLaila,night beauty is her meaningSanaa,radiant is her meaningAll different but yet the sameMy sunlights thru the rain3lil minis so much like meBut 3 lil blessings is what God gave me |
