Black Man! Black Man!

There are no other men like you on this earth

You were destined to be strong from your day of birth
Strong enough to handle all of the struggles life throws your way
Determined enough to do it day after day

No one has had to struggle as hard as you, Black Man

While doing everything to provide the best way you can
Having to prove your worth time and time again
While still being a loving husband, father and friend

I love when you stand tall and proud

Or when you kneel to pray with your head bowed
I love the way your daughter’s smile melts your heart
Or how your son idealizes you from the start

I know it’s not always easy being the strong one

But you keep pushing on until your work is done
So keep on pushing, being the man God called you to be
Black Man! Black Man! You are so special to me
