“From within my being, life begins. The tears that flow from my eyes are not always seen, but always felt. My heart always beats, but you must be close to really hear it sing. In times of storms and sunshine, I will provide shelter and shade. My beauty is limitless and my mind timeless. I have made mistakes and gone through the fire, but like a phoenix , I rise. I am God made, Son certified, and guaranteed by the Holy Ghost. Who am I? I am your mother, sister, niece, friend, girlfriend, wife, daughter, a woman. When you disrespect any one of my incarnations YOU disrespect them all, and yourself.”
