Phenomenal Leader

She came from the belly of the poor She struggled for the rights of the people A strong black woman She gave the inner-city youths the hope to become what ever they wanted to be The mother of our nation, we all called her Sister P She gave her life for politics and the rise of the Jamaican economy When you talk about a phenomenal woman you speak of the great Portia Simpson Miller She never looked down on anyone unless she was picking them up because she understood love and humility No matter what the colour of your flag orange or green we all loved her She's not afraid to tell you her mind that's what great leaders do She's the first woman Prime Minister She made all women proud She's a political icon Stand tall my phenomenal leader, Portia Simpson Miller You made your contribution to the land we love Jamaica It's the end of an era we thank you for a life well spent serving your country, Jamaica
