Sweet Child

Hold your head up sweet child.

Do you know who you are?

 

You are first and foremost, a child of God.

That in itself is a gift to be grateful for.

 

Sweet child, yes you.

I am talking to that child within, wanting so bad to be held tight and loved for who she is.

Look into the mirror and see how beautiful you are.

 

Your cocoa skin, shining with the scent of the coconut oil rubbed deep in your skin.

Vaseline spread onto those beautiful lips of yours.

Yes, that's right, let me see those beautiful pearly white teeth shine through that bright smile.

 

Hair pulled back, away from your face.

Yes, a must, a beautiful face must not be hidden from the world.

 

Sweet child, yes you.

Do you know who you are?

 

You are fierce.

 

You are like a lioness protecting her cubs, her home, her family.

 

You are a protector who understands the value of family.

 

You are a warrior.

You have been through many battles and you understand all too well that in order to win, you must be 100% invested...and that you are.

 

You are a survivor.

Throughout all the paths of the journeys you have travelled thus far, you have found ways to endure through the pain and still persevere.

 

Sweet child, yes you.

Do you know who you are?

 

You are slowly becoming a new you.

Who you choose to be is up to you.

Hold your head up, shoulders back, and walk that walk and show the world who you are.

 

Sweet child, you are who you should be today and you are who you will be as you continue walking your path, your journey.

 

Sweet child, yes you.

Do you know who you are?
