My Sister

Oh...my sister...
Oh...my sister...


She's a woman...
   ...hair the many colors of the good earth
Skin...
   ...so many shades, from shadows to light


She has eyes that shine....
   ...with the brightness of a setting sun
And a voice...
   ...that could raise even the meekest to might


Oh...my sister...
Oh...my sister...


She moves...
   ...like a gentle wave on an ocean
   ...touching the sands...
A beautiful, Black, regal woman...
   ...so proud her pride became mine


She's the other...
   ...part of my soul
She's my mother...
   ...more precious than gold
She's my lover...
   ...eternally...
She's my daughter...
   ...born to be free


She could look at me
   but through me
   for me and to me
My sister, so Divine
