A Black Woman is proud  
She respects herself and others.
She is aware of who she is.  
And knows that everything has its place
Even the smallest flower
She neither seeks definition or expect praise
Nor does she seek attention or the latest craze

A  black woman is hopeful. 
Never in phsycal rage or woeful
She is strong enough to make all her dreams come true.  
She's independent enough to put faith in a few
She knows love, therefore she gives love.
She have felt pain and and knows it makes one strong
She has been young and naive
She knows right from wrong  
She recognizes that her love has great value and must be reciprocated.  
If her love is taken for granted, it soon disappears.

A black woman has a dash of inspiration, a dabble of endurance.  
She knows that she will, at times,
have to inspire others to reach their potential
She accepts responsibility with ease
And is quite capable of articulating her needs

A black woman knows God.  
She knows that with God the world is her playground,
but without God she will just be played. 
And though she's been hurt, abused and betrayed,
in gods hands her troubles are layed

A black woman knows her past,
 understands her present
 And moves toward the future.
She doesn't live in fear
because of her past.
She understands that life's experiences
are merely lessons,
She takes her mistakes turn them in blessings
Which brings her closer to self knowledge, self awareness and unconditional self love.  
she portrays the grace of a snow white dove
