Dear Black Woman

Dear black woman, You have curly hair. Your resting face, is a fierce stare You are beautiful! Dear black woman, You have big gorgeous eyes A voluptuous body, look at those thighs You are beautiful! Dear black woman, You have soft, yet tough brown skin Your plump lips, do not need any collagen. You are beautiful! Dear black woman, As a child, you asked many questions, you wanted to know Anything and everything, that would help you grow You are intelligent! Dear black woman, You are always thirsting for knowledge. Doing whatever it takes, to make it through college. You are intelligent! Dear black woman, Raising children by yourself Know that being rich, can be done with out wealth. You are strong! Dear black woman, Working day out and day in. You are the provider and the protector of your kin. You are strong! Dear black woman, Look yourself in the mirror, smile and say: I am beautiful, intelligent, and strong because I am a black woman everyday!
