I See You

I see you,

You of all colors.

I see you,

You of All shades and lusters.

I see you,

And the pride that burns inside, deep within your hearts.

I hear you,

And your unique song.

I hear you,

All of your voices, together as one, strong.

I know you,

You are family and friends.

I know you,

We are lovers and equals.

I know you,

together we stand arm in arm, an unbroken chain.

I feel you,

The tears you have cried.

I feel you,

The many injustices you have suffered in your lives.

I feel you,

Tremble when I hug you tight.

I love you,

For who and what you are.

I love you,

For your unending pride.

I love you,

For the colors you proudly show and do not hide.
