Hair

My hair is my crown and glory.

Black and shiny and a streak a
gray in the middle.

I have  locks so neatly twisted,tight
and  seperate in their own place.

Some say dread locks a term I 
choose not to use.No! I'm not sensitive
to the terminology.
 I choose to say 
  I have locks instead.

 Dread  is not in my head .My locks are crowned 
and filled with God's glory.
