Black Woman…
Stand and see the curves of the Sahara desert reflected back at you
The sparkle of the night stars in your eyes
Shine! Shine!
For your DNA is to be celebrated like the horizon in the morning sky
Shine! Shine!
For your genetic code unfolds like the beauty of a million sunsets illuminating the sky
Shine! Shine!
For thus you were created to reflect the glory of thine Maker who is Light
