Sheri Brown

I remember in the day
boldly auditioning for ballet.

Was told, 'good but body a negro shape.'
...

I see my Father in me; expressive, full of splendor,
real, revolutionary; I am my Father's daughter.
How can I deny Your majesty, Your creation
without denying my own existence?
...

When I am with you, I am giddy, youthful, like
savoring expensive dark chocolate; I'm satisfied.
Smiling from ear to ear just looking at you.
There's never a dull moment with you; exciting.
...

...

A new America, it's time for a change.
Blood, sweat and tears for many years;
will we ever eliminate old baggages and fears?
Visualize it, the bigger picture.
...

...

...

I do what I do is extraordinary indeed
I can birth a man child
and raise him right you see.
