James Edward Lee Sr. Poet Free verse

Black Mama

black mama
A nurturer
God fearing
 black mama 
For what is worth
Darkest dirt
Mother Herb, Mother Earth
Black mama
Big lips for brave free speech 
Big hips to carry her child
Authoritative Dussciplinarian
Black mama
Destin to birth children
With her God and just one husband
Breastfeeding babies
Black mama
Hand rocks and a hand-me-down cradle
I'm juz sayN
No mizBhavin
Black mama
 Ever so God-fearing
Did I mention child rearing 
Self procuring
Black mama
Smells like raw flowers
Breath like a kiss smells of baby's breath
Black mama
Endearing
Not sure God lead God-fearing
Black mama comes in many shades of brown
Can even be White and Red Olive Auburn
She can cook she can so she can even make ceramic bowls she can bake homemade biscuits and breads 
She'd learnt from her Aunts and Grandma
Star black Skin Beauty
Mama 
Ever so somber
All the children the world loves her
Black mama
