Kimiko Watson Poet Free verse

Black Woman

Black woman you are my Nubian Queen.
Black woman you are strong.
Black woman you are the one,
Black woman you are a true blessing on this little island.
Black woman you are the embodiment of beauty,
skin bleaching damages the envied melanin that you
bring.
Black woman you are the epitome of love,
for your children you will go far beyond and above.
Black woman you are Rosa, Maya, Faye and Ms. Lou
just to name a few.
Black woman you are the proof of our independence.
Black woman you are complete, yet in complete without
a strong black man.
Black woman you are me and I am you.
Black woman I love you.

Meanwhile, I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
