Essence of a Black Woman

 
Essence of a black woman  
Born to be strong  
The tribulations of past ancestors  
Has instilled an inner power, and determination  
Black ebony skin glows  
She wears her natural beauty with pride  
The fragrant oils she’s uses on her hair and body  
Leaves a beautiful scent as she passes by  
The fullness of her breast the roundness of her behind  
Sensual lips  
God given combination  
The black skin, is an inner spirit goes deep to the soul  
The sexiest thing is her strength of mind  
She loves deeply and makes love with passion  
Strong but gentle  
Princess warrior  
Fiercely protects those she loves  
Carries the burden of life on her shoulders  
And still stands strong  
Makes sure her children’s belly is full  
Even if hers is empty  
Stands tall even when she is down  
Sheds tears wipes them away and continues  
Carries the beliefs of God in her heart  
He gives her the strength to carry on  
For over 300 yrs she has had to fight  
Captured, beaten, tied and bound  
Children sold, men beaten  
The black woman strength lives on  
No matter what she survives  
A true black woman is who she is  
Her ancestors blood running through her veins
