Black Sister

High stepping, hard working,

soul stirring, black sister

Risk taker, ball breaker,

ends meat maker,

black sister

Always fixing, modeling,

leading, never contradicting,

black sister

Sparkles like Champagne

she intoxicates many men

Her search for true

freedom keeps her sane,

black sister

Special in every way not

given credit by society

But she will have her day

I am proud to be a

black sister
