For Poor Black Girls One Day Poised Believing God
Wounded by his and her absence
All we knew to do was wait
In time emptiness melted to fog, until
Tenderness brought us tranquility.
At last, we looked to You, as
Rain spoke of change, and
Skylight touched us like a friend
Loyal to the end.
Nature itself sought to wake us to wonder
Over and over, we held the hands of hope.
At last, we looked to You, as
Rain spoke of change, and
Skylight touched us like a friend
Loyal to the end.
Marvelous minds moved you and me to see
One and only One Light, lifts us to life of ease
Rays of inclusion birth rainbow flowers
Each new day, we will lift our thoughts to Thee.
At last, we looked to You, as
Rain spoke of change, and
Skylight touched us like a friend
Loyal to the end,
O so loyal to the end.
