I See You

I SEE YOU

Long strides in your walk, rainbows and lightning and thunder clash as you speed by
Eyes brighter than stars and the noonday sun
Hope ablaze like the burning bush
You are awesomeness defined
People wonder why you're so positive
Why it seems like you have it going on, even when you have your days
How you make it through your struggles
Who dares to question your strength?
Do they not know who you are?
Do they not know whose blood runs through your veins?
You are the stuff legends are made of!
You, friend, are the child of the Most High
The sons and daughters of kings and queens
Of kingdoms far and wide
The knowledge of the Nile spread from nation to nation
The hope of those lynched
The testament that Amistad and Till bore
You are the hard work of Selma and Birmingham
The apple of Harriet's eyes
You are your hopes and fears, your anxieties and your calmness
You are beauty and love
You are strength and courage
I see you!
Stay in you and in blessings!
