A Black Sisterhood

         It’s A Sisterhood! –

                    A Black Sisterhood!

                                                      by Marileeza

My sister, I greet you

               In love and in truth

I salute you in spirit

That makes my heart move.

I meet you with openness --

Greet you in maturity or youth --

Respect shining inside you

Your vision of Truth.

You are nature and nurture –

Our past and our future—

You’re a woman of virtue –

Diamond rent under pressure –

     And here’s why I love you  -  All the day long –

  

      ‘Cause:          It’s a Sisterhood – A Black Sisterhood

                              And it’s making us Strong!

  

We are moved by your passion.

You are reaching out for the goal.

You are part of the wholeness

That we’re all searching for.

You represent us in achievements

You stand up, straight and tall

You are the pride of our evolution

You are doing it all!

                              You’re the keys to our Kingdom

                              You’re the words to our song

    Because:         It’s a Sisterhood – A Black Sisterhood

                              And it’s making us Strong!

With you working for us

With you reaching out

We are raised along with you

And you’re making us proud.

Keep head up and shoulder high

Stay focused as you’re passing by

Leaving a trail of inspiration

Raising other’s new aspiration

As we look ahead with a sigh --

Giving a reason

for change and for hope –

Continue advancing –

With a song in your throat.

And I’ve got your back

Whether right or if wrong --

                

    ‘Cause:            It’s a Sisterhood – A Black Sisterhood

                              And it’s making us Strong!

Makes me want to move with you

As you march through the ages

Makes me glow deep inside

As we’re ever reaching new stages.

               Keep working and thriving

               Keep bringing others beside you

               Keep using your new-found skills

               To move us all  up every hill

               Reach back, bring us with you

               As you’re going on –

               Keep us  as your incentive

               And you’ll always feel you’re “at home!”

    Because:         It’s a Sisterhood – A Black Sisterhood

                              And it’s making us Strong!

Yes, we want to always love you –

Hold you gently and hug you

               For you are precious as we bond

               When your heart is our collective “home.”

Stay faithful, stay strong

Keep fighting day and night long;

‘Till we next meet again,

We’ll always remain friends –

Whether we’re old or we’re young --

    ’Cause:            It’s a Sisterhood – A Black Sisterhood

                              And it’s making us Strong!
