Mother of the Earth
A tribute to Black women for Black History month
The Black woman. The queen of the planet who gave birth to me.
For nine months I was carried she gave worth to me.
Not just the queen of the world, but the heart of the soul.
She could never not ever be a part of my soul.
Life has brought me pain and caused me stress.
Nevertheless Black women let me know I was blessed.
Made sure I had a place to rest when my days were long.
When I felt weak she helped me remain strong.
No matter how much turmoil and pain I’ve seen on this earth.
The Black queens of the earth never let me forget I am king and hold worth.
