From the Child of a Strong Black Mother

We are blessed once again with a post from Joey Pinkney and this time its a poem entitled: From the Child of a Strong Black Mother.  Thanks Joey !!!


From the Child of a Strong Black Mother

The original Mother
with the color
of the most Fertile Earth

Giving birth to nations
Giving birth to inspirations

Your dark chocolate brown babies
grow up to be Gentlemen
and the gentlest of Ladies

We find comfort in your confidence
and come forth to rule continents

You link family to family
through your past
to our future

You generate the generations
and give agendas to the nations

You are our first sight
Your skin Ebony Black
You teeth Ivory White

I embrace your smile
and reflect your style
