Sister Cuzin

I looked in her face, hers was nothing like mine.Chocolate I, caramel she, our differences we don't see. her hair short, mine extended 2 be long, yet our spirits 2 one another are drawn cuz her day, pain and gripe is the same 1's that got me looking 2 the creator for insight. as young women we were taught how to be homemakers cater to my man and my kids first.In the years we live in and are sure to see that kind of reality would have ur insides dying spiritually and emotionally This young women i speak of upon first meeting, spoke volumes 2 me. I admired her mind,take on life, giving spirit telling the silly men in her life to come correct becuz u know she doesn't want 2 hear it. Normally the catty of ladies, would lead me into a shut door of maybes about her character,somehow we broke down those wall so that we could see exactly who and what was standing awaiting entrance through the front door. Every time i see sister cuzin i know she knows exactly whats on my mind, she greets me with a sweet smile and embrace, let me know quick where to locate the food, smoke and liquors in my leisure i am free 2 sip sister cuzins, i luv mine do u luv urs. Carrying the world on her back saving u constantly from mishaps, in tune with ones shortcomings and sometimes indiscretions. Seems sister cuzins always wanna take on the world. Always looking 4 luv, but seems we stay just being some ones girl. I come to u with sincere vision, sis I see ur light, but i warn u, some folks, all they will do is dis it Direspect, disspondent ready 2 disregard u and ur accomplishments at a flick of the wrist. I know u sis, ur hand strong and steady, never ever giving these clowns ammunition to dim it ur lightI mean. anybody who is anybody knows that in your heart and good graces is the place one longs to be.
