Once I felt joy when you were with me:
Then I felt confused, when the storm
Weighed, heavy, separate, us
— to a home, I wanted to flee:
Once I felt void, because your,
Familiar face — presence,
No longer, compliment, the femininity,
Powerful, loving child — brown skin,
Woman, the Mighty One, that create,
And speak greatness, that I am,
Destine to be: So, I write this,
Poetic note, to flow, speak life,
Into existence — gracefully,
To a daddy, I visualize, far, greater,
Wiser, stronger, kinder, loving,
Compassionate, than what, was whispered to me;
And I thank, the glorious one, for my mommy,
That prayed wisely to keep me sane, in check,
Now passed on, to a greater place,
Only, the Magnificent — great can see!
