Sister's Anthem

Strength is the word
That exemplifies you most
For you endured the struggles the worst
Through all that you have persevered
No longer left in the rear
Your love is satisfaction
To my soul
Support and trust only
Makes me stronger
Your embrace could tame my
Wildest anger
Treason is the reason
That got us brothers believing
To be leaving our women we 
Put our seeds in
How could we treat our 
Sisters so cold
Going back to days of old
The courage to endure slavery
Only shows your tremendous bravery
Spirit the essence of your beauty
I am giving you the crown
For holding the family down
Let’s help our women in their everyday duties
Your skin tone various colors of the earth
Only your lips I desire to kiss
Any other I quickly dismiss
I fall on my knees
To feel your touch
My sisters I respect you so much
Let me keep it thorough
To pay homage to your name
A place for you to claim
And Queens is that borough

Wonderful tribute to all wonderful ladies out there. A woman needs attention, protection, and affection. She is ready to treat you right all through the night, and hold you tight. This is wonderful, keep writing. Great you! change the poetry form to free verse, not " i do not know".
