A Woman Of Essence Poem by Felicia Coffee

Elegant, exquisite
That is what you are called
When people see you
As you walk down the streets
To your own beat
And your beauty is seen
By every man, woman, boy, and girl
Wanting to come into your world

You’re classy
You’re sassy
You’re all the above
A heavenly dove sent by God to show love
You’re beautiful inside and out
There’s no doubt
That people want to know
What you are all about

You are the beautiful Black Queen
People dream to have, to hold
Let the story be told
That you are special in your own way
The way you walk
The way you talk
The way you smile
Don’t you know that you are the Queen of the Nile
Yes, you are full of blackness
Like none other
But the qualities and strengths you possess
Are the ones given by your mother
Who birthed you into a wonderful being
Full of life
Full of love
That’s never ending
Because in her eyes
You will always be
One of her greatest beginnings
