Sister
A divine evolution That transcends time and space.
She goes beyond Geographic location.
The magnitude of her strength Is not determined by age, relation or gene.
She supercedes womb or seed,
Classroom, church or temple boardroom or sorority symbol-
She's not a black thang,
A white thang
Or even a blood thang.
She goes beyond a finite
Comprehension of what she should be, who she is,
Or who she is given to.
She's not defined by ethnicity, culture, or generation.
She is a state of being real-
A condition and place in love that knows no boundaries,
Limitations or even expectations.
Like love she sees nor feels no ill.
She is patient and kind, generous and giving,
Without ulterior motives.
She's not about "what can you do for me?"-
"What have you done for me lately?" or "Let's compare ourselves."
She's not about keeping tabs on "Who gives what to whom" or
"Who is the best amongst us"
She's not a red thang, a yellow thang or even a blood thang
She's about keepin' it real.
She shares the royalty that flows from her core.
She embraces the beauty that she has formed by simply being all that she is.
She knows that there are others who need to feel the warmth of her embrace.
She freely gives...she lets her hair down and is simply all
Mentor, friend, and confidant.
She is endurance, fortitude and strength...
Beyond measure-beyond muscle.
She's not a beige thang... a tan thang or even a blood thang.
She is prayerful, hopeful and joyful.
She rejoiceth in the good times and is a reservoir in times of drought.
She is sent from God- An angel in the midst,
A candle shining in the center for the whole world to see.
She is cherished, honored, and esteemed highly.
She is a rare jewel that is polished-
Her radiance lights a path and she is an example set before others.
She's not an ebony thang an ivory thang or even a blood thang...
She is a legacy left for future generations.
Her impact is a never-ending journey deeply rooted in love.
