I am a big black woman
Crazy about life and all living
I’m loving and giving where possible
I was born on a beautiful Tuesday morning
...
The body of a woman
This is a beautiful sculpture perfected by God
Within it there many engines
...
I am a child of the soil
So highly privileged and wealthy
Of life experience and knowledge
Wealth is described as money
...
Sometimes I think I’m laughing at her
Only to find out I’m actually laughing with her and at myself
The sounds that vibrate as we express our joys
In laughter and melody
...
Will you ever forgive, me for missing your funeral?
You might have seen the pain I felt when I heard you passed
Every time I see your picture
My heart just pours out
