Strong Black Woman
Searching for love,
Lost in space,
And the stars above.
Strong Black Woman,
Head held high,
Walking around,
With a sense of pride.
Strong Black Woman,
Making it on her own,
Supporting herself,
Leaving footprints in stone.
Strong Black Woman,
Down to earth,
Seeking the truth,
Overcoming the hurts.
Strong Black Woman,
Trying to achieve,
Receiving and giving,
Only to believe.
Strong Black Woman,
Slowly becoming weak,
Values and beliefs,
Are now for keeps.
Strong Black Woman,
Affected many lives,
Being strong for those who couldn’t,
But in the end gracefully said goodbye.
