Wigs, make-up, pedicures and expensive designer things From Gucci to Gabanna and flashy diamond rings I am from my momma. I am from humility, dignity, stature and strength. From a loving heart and a giving soul always cheerful and spiritual and wise. I am from my daddy. I am from the kitchen of Mary T, Ella J, Mary S and Maurica M...cooking at its best, Grandmama’s Collard greens, cornbread, BBQ ribs, “funeral” macaroni, Putting any challenge to the test! “Sweet Lucy”, sweet tea with mint leaves and kool-aid can’t be beat Sweet potato pies, pound cake, peach cobbler and banana pudding are truly a traditional treat. I am from scorching sun and dreary rains, Hot August nights with Watermelons and Sugar Canes. From busy main streets jammed by 4, Where running a red light without being caught is called a “Score!” I am from night clubs and McDonald’s on every street, Where Franklin Blvd. & Meadowgate meet. I am from the “Sho’ ‘nuffs!” and “Make it plains!”, From “Halleluyahs!” to shouting “What’s His name!?” I am from VBS to youth revivals and even shut-in’s too, From serving the mothers, pastors and first ladies and giving honor to whom honor is due. “First given honor to God who is the head of my life” is the first thing we say, Ending with hoping God blesses us with another wonderful day. I am from the latest dolls and the hottest pens, Easy Bake ovens and Rumpelstilskin. From Fraggle Rock to the snuggly CareBears, To PJ Sparkles with all that rainbow hair! I am from the dirt hills in the back of our huge house, That we’d sneak to go into..tip toeing quiet as a mouse. There dwelled the kissing tree and the smelly turnip patch, I am from that group of kids that watched the blue bird’s eggs hatch. ...I am a legend in
my own right. |
