Little Sister
You are beautiful
You are smart
Don’t continue to think
You are just some body parts
When GOD created you
For sure we know
That within you
Our population continues to grow
We are mothers, sisters, aunts
Nieces, grandmothers and friends
We feed off of each other
From beginning to end
Don’t allow anyone to break you down
You are strong, powerful women
Who wear a mighty Crown
You deserve the best that life has to offer
Don’t believe your only worth
Is lying on your back
And being treated like dirt
Carry yourselves with class
By the way you talk and the way you dress
Keep your mind focused
And others will be impressed
But don’t live for others
You must live for you
Be proud of yourself
And all that you do
You don’t understand
The power that you have
From where our sisters before us came
And looking at our successful sisters now
Little sister you are Fabulous
You are nothing less than a Queen
Don’t you let anyone
Strip you of your self-being
I love ya!
