Sisterhood

Hey girl, what's up? just called to check on you, Cuz when you're part of the sisterhood , that's what sisters do! Be times good, or be times bad, rather you woke up happy, or rather you woke up mad, A sister will listen, she doesn't always give advice, she's thoughtful in her responses, thinking it over twice. Night or day, it really doesn't matter, she'll say girl, let's have some ice cream , and get a little fatter. Be it the kids, the husband, the job, or another issue, sisters sit down and grab a box of tissue. What I have is yours, and what you have is mine. Have you ever seen three sisters, share a single dime? Well as sisters, that's what we do, I wouldn't say it , If I knew it were not true. In the sisterhood, We leave the crabbing, the backstabbing, and vindictiveness behind. For it takes too much effort, and we have too little time! So sisters, Let's build each other up, not tear each other down, Let's greet one another with a smile, and forego the nasty frown. Each one teach one, is what I say, let's make empowerment the word of the day! Let's promote the positive, or say nothing at all. Let's lift each other up, not make each other fall. Let's be truthful, thoughtful, and prayerful of each other. Let's strive to take each other, just a little bit further. I'm brown, your tan, she's dark, she's light, One sister is Puerto Rican, and the other sister is white. Our complexion, our race, doesn't play a part, because the sisterhood, cares not about color, or status, it's all about your heart! We won't always see eye to eye, or always agree, but I've got you girl, and I know you've got me! Storms may come, but we weather them together, trying to stay dry, beneath one umbrella! So ladies, When things are bad, and you can find no good, there is always comfort to be found , in the sisterhood! As women, we are often misunderstood, So ladies, I thank you, for promoting sisterhood!
