Black Girl

Hey black girl, pretty as can be

God created you most definitely

Stay as you are

A bright, shinning star

You are a treasure

Beyond measure

Hey black girl

With skin made of gold

Your story should be told

It’s certainly true

God has carried you through

While others denigrated you

God sat beside you

Hey black girl

You have a purpose

It’s come to the surface

Continue your journey

It’s been ordained by God only

Don’t pretend

That you won’t have a testimony in the end

Hey black girl

You are valuable

No matter what others say

Let God have His way

He’ll give you all you need

To help you succeed

Keep forging ahead

Lovely little black girl

August

I woke up and discovered it’s August

Move forward I must

It’s time to change

It’s time to rearrange

Let go of what used to be

Show the world the best of me

It’s August

A new season has arrived

I’ll look at how I’ve thrived

Nothing is the same

I hear God calling my name

I’ve embraced my purpose

I saw it come to the surface

It’s August

One thing I know for sure

I feel more secure

It’s about making the rest of my life

The best of my life

I’ve set the tone

God won’t leave me alone

It’s August

Many more dreams will come true

God will carry me through

He’s my guiding light

He makes my days bright

I’ll go far

By reaching for a star

Move on I must

Because it’s August
