A tribute to her
Beautifully unique,
such precious skin you bear
And an inherent naturalness
crowned by respect.
So wholesome, so pure—
the essence of “love”
You’re sincere and sweet
and paralleled by none.
To the stirring voice through the darkness
of your Black man’s plight,

You offered strength and compassion
for a much “battered” psyche.
Even now, intelligent and able,
there are none to contend
With the force, the power,
which you have at hand.
Thus, heralded before
as “Mother Nature’s only dark child”
You’re a precious entity,
and you’ve the right to be proud.
