CHARLIE MAC,
I remember as a little girl how you would come by in your antique car and take me for a ride. My remembrance is when you buck your eyes to say you something else but you still my child. Daddy was I obedient when I did what you said with a smile?
I recollect you telling me about our family. You stated that we are tribal in our identity; that our Negroid blood came from slavery. You said we are just as much as anyone else is even when this nation may think differently. Daddy didn't you give me insight into a life enlighten?
I recall your statement about your education.
You said you went to school but was not treated right.
Therefore, you dropout and started your life.
You became mastered skilled and did well.
Daddy didn't you provide me guidance in a world of racial disparity?
I will never forget the new bike you bought me.
You bought it without it being a holiday.
I was so amazed that you would that I road down Milam in pure enjoyment.
Daddy you showed them who you are - that your daughter was just as much.
Without hesitation, I have call to mind all the love you have shown me throughout life.
You may be down now but your strength shines through.
Mr. Charles Mac Williams, I love you!
