Big Beautiful Woman
A divine evolution
That transcends time and space.
She goes beyond
Geographic location.
The magnitude of her strength
Is not determined by age, relation or gene.
She supersedes womb or seed,
Classroom, church or temple
Boardroom or sorority symbol-
She's not a black thang,
A white thang
Or even a blood thang.
She goes beyond a finite
Comprehension of what
She should be, who she is,
Or who she is given to.
She's not defined by ethnicity,
Culture, or generation.
She is a state of being real-
A condition and place in love
That knows no boundaries,
Limitations or even expectations.
Like love she sees nor feels no ill.
She is patient and kind,
Generous and giving,
Without ulterior motives.
She's not about "what can you do for me?"-
"What have you done for me lately?" or
"Let's compare ourselves."
She's not about keeping tabs on
"Who gives what to whom" or
"Who is the best amongst us"
She's not a red thang,
A yellow thang
Or even a blood thang.
She's about keepin' it real.
She shares the royalty
That flows from her core.
She embraces the beauty that
She has formed
By simply being all that she is.
She knows that there are others
Who need to feel the warmth of her embrace.
She freely gives.
She lets her hair down
And is simply all…
Mentor, friend, and confidant.
She is endurance, fortitude and strength.
Beyond measure-beyond muscle
She's not a beige thang
A tan thang
Or even a blood thang.
She is prayerful,
Hopeful and joyful
She rejoiceth in the good times
And is a reservoir in times of drought.
She is sent from God-An angel in the midst,
A candle shining in the center
For the whole world to see.
She is cherished,
Honored, and esteemed highly.
She is a rare jewel that is polished-
Her radiance lights a path
And she is an example set before others.
She's not an ebony thang
An ivory thang
Or even a blood thang
She is a legacy left for future generations.
Her impact is a never-ending journey
Deeply rooted in love
