A BLACK WOMAN

Cloud of femininity, pillar of strength
That is a Black Woman
To be a tower, when everything else is a scale model
To be able to stand firm
When your world is crumbling beneath your feet;
That is a Black Woman...
Working when your hands are calloused and bleeding
As your body aches from overwork, yet
Being able to go home, and still
Cook and clean the house
With a smile on your face for the family;
That is a Black woman
Cloud of femininity, pillar of strength.
Someone who is able to be a crutch
Whenever her family needs one, and
Thinks of it as a labor of love...
Who can look anybody straight in the eye when
The world has scorned her, and say
"That's alright with me because I owe you nothing"
Turn and walk away...
That is a Black Woman...
That is my mother...

Love knows no color--people are people.Sure nuff there is hatered in this world,but in time it will subside--We have the love of Christ on our side.I would take your Mother as my own she is a beautiful person.
