Brown Girl Poem by Akili Amina

Hey Little brown girl, how’s the weather today?
When the rain comes, you can hide your tears
When the sun shines, angels listened as you prayed
They told him all he hears, they gave him all your fears

Hey you! Brown girl, who grew up so strong
Made your own path, walked away from those untrue
Don’t look back, eyes ahead, you get there before long
And when you took off, chile’ they said you flew!

Hey there! Brown Lady, heard you got a good man
Nice family too, someone up there looking out for you!
Cause you got a good heart and its all in his plan
I talked to an angel who told me to tell you. She loves you!

Hey Brown Lady, you are truly out of this world!
I will always remember when you were just, a Brown Girl
