She was all flavors of chocolate
-milk, hazel and dark
She had the stars in her eyes and the universe in her afro
She had the strength of a thousand men resting on her hips
And the sweetness of honey dripping from her lips
She had the eyes of an eagle and the power of a horse
She held a world in her womb and the hope of a thousand tomorrows
She had the laugh of a baby but spoke with audacity, like a Lion’s roar
She had the grace of a gazelle in her stride
And the sturdiness of a soldier in her stance
She was like fire – burning beautifully, smiling and weeping at once
She danced with peace but was ready for battle,
Ready to defend her own
She was the pride and joy of the human race
She was African
Powerful words!
