WHY AM I BLACK

Lord ... Why did you make me black?
Why did you make someone
the world would hold back?
Black is the color of dirty clothes,
of grimy hands and feet...
Black is the color of darkness,
of tired beaten streets...
Why did you give me thick lips,
a broad nose and kinky hair?
Why did you create someone
who receives the hated stare?
Black is the color of the bruised eye
when someone gets hurt...
Black is the color of darkness,
black is the color of dirt.
Why is my bone structure so thick,
my hips and cheeks so high?
Why are my eyes brown,
and not the color of the sky?
Why do people think I'm useless?
How come I feel so used?
Why do people see my skin
and think I should be abused?
Lord, I just don't understand...
What is it about my skin?
Why is it some people want to hate me
and not know the person within?
Black is what people are "Labelled"
when others want to keep them away...
Black is the color of shadows cast...
Black is the end of the day.
Lord you know my own people mistreat me,
and you know this just ain't right...
They don't like my hair, they don't like my
skin, as they say I'm too dark or too light!
Lord, don't you think
it's time to make a change?
Why don't you redo creation
and make everyone the same?
God's Reply:
Why did I make you black? Why did I make you black?
I made you in the color of coal
from which beautiful diamonds are formed...
I made you in the color of oil,
the black gold which keeps people warm.
Your color is the same as the rich dark soil
Your color is the same as the black stallion and
panther, Oh what majestic creatures indeed!
All colors of the heavenly rainbow
can be found throughout every nation...
When all these colors are blended,
you become my greatest creation!
Your hair is the texture of lamb's wool,
such a beautiful creature is he...
I am the shepherd who watches them,
I will ALWAYS watch over thee!
You are the color of the midnight sky,
I put star glitter in your eyes...
There's a beautiful smile hidden behind your pain...
That's why your cheeks are so high!
You are the color of dark clouds
from the hurricanes I create in September...
I made your lips so full and thick,
so when you kiss...they will remember!
Your stature is strong,
your bone structure thick to withstand the
burden of time...
The reflection you see in the mirror,
that image that looks back, that is MINE!
So get off your knees,
look in the mirror and tell me what you see?
I didn't make you in the image of darkness...
I made you in the image of ME!

Your Mother, Your Angel
Your Mother, Your Angel © and by Natasha Jordan

You look back on memories you forgot you had,And at times you'll smile even though it hurts so bad.Your mother is a special woman and no one can take her place,You'll find a piece of mind when you remember he smiling face.Your mother is an angel now she flies high above the rest,and in your hearts always and forever she will be the best.She has earned her wings and it's time for her to fly,I know it hurts no one is ever ready to say good-bye.She knows you do not understand and that you cry at night,But as you finally drift of to sleep let her memory hold you tight.She will be your guardian angel through the rest of your life,Helping lead you on the path between what' wrong and right.your mother loves you so very much and her love will always remain true,Please don't ever think for a second that your mother will forget you.A mothers love is like no other in the whole world,d she has the most wonderful memories of her little girls.She has taken them with her as she's flown away,Up to Heaven free of pain which is her new home to stay.So although you can not see her and you wish she could be there,Your mother can always hear you and your mother will always care.A mother does not forget the two greatest loves of her life,And she loved nothing more than being your mommy, and your daddy's wife.She is so proud of her family and that's in her heart to stay,Even though she's and angel and has had to fly away.So as you cry your tears remember your mothers love,Being sent to you from her, from the beautiful Heaven above.She will be there through your good times, she will be there through your bad,She'll be there when you are happy, she'll be there when your sad.Your mother has become and angel now, it is her time to fly,And you will never know how bad it hurt me to watch you have to say good-bye.
