A Day (Part 2)

We make it to the master bedroom in record time
I’m excited and damn sure ready to get mine
But don’t worry because I plan to take good care of you
I tell you to lie back and let me do what I do

I start by kissing you on your neck then down your chest
I’m rubbing and licking like a woman obsessed
I keep making my way down pass your abs to your things
I linger there a minute while I’m eyeing my prize

My mouth begins to water from anticipation
I’m impatient so I dive in with no hesitation
I love your manly smell and you taste so damn good
I would bottle up this good shit and sell if I could

I take a minute to admire how you’re blessed and hung
Then I start to do that special thing I do with my tongue
You know the thing that makes your eyes roll back and toes curl
Before long I’ve got you saying “Damn I love you girl”

Society and the Black Woman

The way society views the black woman has to end
It has us changing who we are trying to fit in
We have allowed it to kill our hopes and dreams
Because we don’t all fit into the mainstream
We don’t all look like they think we should look
Nor do we follow the rules of their book

Society’s view of us has caused a lot of self-doubt
Stifling who we are and what we’re really about
It makes us believe we must be gorgeous, dumb and thin
Always ready and able to serve our men
Dressing sexy, wearing weaves and tracks
With long hair flowing down our backs

We are seen as sex objects and boy toys
Instead of women of class and poise
Educated, well-traveled and out spoken
Flexible and bendable but never broken
It’s a good thing most of us are resilient and strong
And here to prove society’s image of us is wrong

Praying for You and Running with You

They say bad things happen to good people at some point in life
Some of them so bad it cuts you in the heart just like a knife
We will never know why God chooses the people He does
We can only say He knows best so there is no because

Since I have not worn or even walked a step in your shoes
I can’t understand your pain, your struggle or even sing your blues
I can’t imagine what it takes to make it through each day
To get out of bed when all you want do is stay there and lay

No matter how bad you are feeling you always keep going
With each day, your faith in God is growing, growing, growing
Even in sickness, you still manage to share your testimony, tell of your journey
How you turned it over to Him making Him your power of attorney

I sit back in the shadows and I can see your light shining from afar
I admire you for being the strong, inspirational person you are
I really wish there was something special I could say or do
Since I can’t, please know I’m praying for you and running with you
