*****Phenomenal Woman*****

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.
I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size
But when I start to tell them,
They think I'm telling lies.
I say,
It's in the reach of my arms
The span of my hips,
The stride of my step,
The curl of my lips.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

I walk into a room
Just as cool as you please,
And to a man,
The fellows stand or
Fall down on their knees.
Then they swarm around me,
A hive of honey bees.
I say,
It's the fire in my eyes,
And the flash of my teeth,
The swing in my waist,
And the joy in my feet.
I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Men themselves have wondered
What they see in me.
They try so much
But they can't touch
My inner mystery.
When I try to show them
They say they still can't see.
I say,
It's in the arch of my back,
The sun of my smile,
The ride of my breasts,
The grace of my style.
I'm a woman

Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

Now you understand
Just why my head's not bowed.
I don't shout or jump about
Or have to talk real loud.
When you see me passing
It ought to make you proud.
I say,
It's in the click of my heels,
The bend of my hair,
the palm of my hand,
The need of my care,
'Cause I'm a woman
Phenomenally.
Phenomenal woman,
That's me.

*****Afro Down*****

Hey sistah. What's your malfunction?
Is your Afro causing a comotion?
Dont straighten it for that promotion.
Keep it for the relaxation of your mind.

It's so fine! So soft. So bouffant.
So don't get caucasion
You were'nt given this
blessing as a consolation.
That kinky hair they call
a mess is a cause
for celebration.

What I'm telling you hopefully
the effect will be penetration
Through the lies, untruths
and defamations
Sistah you are beautiful
the way God made you.
Feel satisfaction of your physique
because we are truly unique.

You ain't know?
Girl you are divine!
So dont ever think you
being born was a crime.
The only crime would be
to deny the fire, the elegance
sittin up high on your head.
Better believe not a strand is dead.
Its Alive! Its Alive! Its Alive!

*****Lord Why Did You Make Me Black?*****

Why did You make me someone the world wants to hold back? Black is the color of dirty clothes; the color of grimy hands and feet. Black is the color of darkness; the color of tire beaten streets.

Why did You give me thick lips, a broad nose and kinky hair? Why did You make me someone who receives the hatred stare? Black is the color of a bruised eye when somebody gets hurt. Black is the color of darkness, Black is the color of dirt. How come my bone structure’s so thick: my hips and cheeks are high? How come my eyes are brown and not the color of daylight sky?

Why do people think I’m useless? How come I feel so used? Why do some people see my skin and think I should be abused? Lord, I just don’t understand; what it is about my skin: Why do some people want to hate me and not know the person within?

Black is what people are “listed” when others want to keep them away. Black is the color of shadows cast. Black is the end of the day. Lord, You know my own people mistreat me and I know this just isn’t right. They don’t like my hair or the way I look; they say I’m too dark or light. Lord, don’t You think it’s time for You to make a change? Why don’t You re-do creation and make everyone the same.

(The Reply)

Why did I make you Black? Get off your knees and look around. Tell me what do you see? I did not make you in the image of darkness. I made you in the likeness of Me. I made you the color of coal from which beautiful diamonds are formed. I made you the color of oil, the black gold that keeps people warm.

I made you from the rich, dark earth that can grow the food you need. Your color’s the same as the panther’s, known for beauty and speed. Your color is the same as the black stallion, a majestic animal is he. I did not make you in the image of darkness, I made you in the image of Me.

All the colors of a heavenly rainbow can be found throughout every nation; but when those colors blended well; you became My greatest creation.

Your hair is the texture of lambs’ wool such a humble little creature is he. I am the Shepherd who watches over them, I am the One who will watch over thee. You are the color of midnight sky, I put the stars’ glitter in your eyes. There is a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain, that’s the reason why your cheeks are high.

You are the color of dark clouds formed when I send my strongest weather, I made your lips full so when you kiss the one you love, you will remember. Your stature is strong; and your bone structure is thick to withstand the burdens of time. That reflection you see in the mirror…the image that looks back is Mine.

**** A WOMAN OF STRENGTH ****

A strong woman works out every day to keep her body in shape ...
but a woman of strength kneels in prayer to keep her soul in shape...

A strong woman isn't afraid of anything ...
but a woman of strength shows courage in the midst of her fear...

A strong woman won't let anyone get the best of her ...
but a woman of strength gives the best of her to everyone...

A strong woman makes mistakes and avoids the same in the future...
a woman of strength realizes life's mistakes can also be God's
blessings and capitalizes on them...

A strong woman walks sure footedly ...
but a woman of strength knows God will catch her when she falls...

A strong woman wears the look of confidence on her face ...
but a woman of strength wears grace...

A strong woman has faith that she is strong enough for the journey ...
but a woman of strength has faith that it is during the journey that
she will become strong...
