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!
