| When I come back |
| "I dont' know if it's possible, but if I can....... Lord, please let me come back a "BLACK WOMAN" I want to come back with a mind so fierce and sharp With a spiriyual faith that never waivers or doubts, A smile that is warm, with a body divine, With honey, cinnamon or chocolate skin draped in purple and gold........ And whether young or old....... Always have enough money.... So the words "broke", "layaway", "overdue", or "post dated check", aren't in my vocabulary. I want to be a sister to my sister. A woman wise when choosing my mate or date. I want to be able to cook greens, macaroni and cheese, cornbread, a peach cobbler. And a lemon pound cake all at the same time. I want to come back a black woman with self esteem Worthy of being treated like a Queen from my King A woman with patience, love and wisdom of children A black woman with subscriptions to Essence, Jet, Ebony, Emerge, Black Enterprise, Heart and Soul, and the Wall Street Journal I want to come back a Black woman with at least one great diamond from the motherland on my finger I want to come back with the quiet courage of Rosa Parks, the voice of Ella Fitzgerald, the political courage of Ida B. Wells, and the determination of Harriet Tubman. If reincarnation is real, please let me come back as a BLACK WOMAN!. ~Unkown |
