Beautiful...(sistasoul)

you are in the seeds of the soil that birthed this earth
your womb has carried the weight of this universe
you are the rhythm in R&B and the poetry in jazz
you are all the beats and bars that music has
you are....
the quiet storm when the noise of this world gets too loud
for you are individual.......even in a crowd
sista, tell me, what is the colour of your soul?
is it as blue as the oceans and as priceless as gold?
how is it you always sound so good whenever you sing
is your voice that of the highest Seraphim?
you have cried the endless tears of your men and your children
sacrificing your life so they could have a fruitful beginning
you are the in ending of my favourite lullaby
you are the God in my heart and the gospel in my eye
all the emotions and thoughts of a human being
you give me that soul power to light the dark in my seeing
feeding me with the confidence to recognize i am only human
stumbling, loving, falling, rising, i am every woman
i am proud to walk next to you, proud to step in your shoes
cause you are raising the bar the closer i get to you
constantly leaving your footprints for others to aspire to
i am readjusting the light just to get a better view
for you are the reasons behind my cocoa rich spirituals
sista soul you are a mother, a sister, a friend...

....and you are beautiful.
