You can see the essence of a black woman
when she walks into a room.
Her beauty is like a flower that blooms.
She doesn't need a man to be strong,
Because she remains a woman all on her own.
She overcomes challenges
that stands in her way.
The inner strength she has
gets her through the day.
She continues to triumph
with elegance and grace.
While being a double jeopardy
because of her sex and her race.
She is a goal oriented woman
with style and confidence.
She never forgets where she comes from
and for that she is blessed.
She has faith in God and not ashamed
to acknowledge his presence in her life.
She can testify that without him
she could never endure any sacrifice.

This black woman of beauty is the mother of all.
And for that we should be proud and stand tall.
Everyone around her can feel her presence.
For she is a Black woman of essence.
