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!
