STRONG PEOPLE (poem) by Sun
|
Posted By: Sun Smith on August 07, 2009 I know strong people People who can lift a mountain A mountain of Pain A mountain of Sadness Of depression With one “and” Just A few words People who can erase a babies tears with a few verses I know strong people People who can change the climate of a nation with a few syllables These people can parlay a Pathetic into Prosperity Poverty into Powerful Loneliness into Love They make you look inside and Look Around Look inside and Look Around Look inside and Look Around And see the Beauty of your Essence The essence of your being I know strong people I am Here I am Here and the Great “I AM” is Here. I am here and the greatness of who I am is here I am here to tell you about the great I AM. I am strong people. “I AM” is strong people. He speaks through the people. He is speaking through me, to you right now. OH! I know Strong People Yall! Marian Williamson, Toni Morrison, Jill Scott, Barak Obama, Martin Luther King, Jr., Maya Angelou, Tupac Shakur, Oprah, Tyler Perry, Eddie Long, Mary J. Blige, India Arie My grandmother, Willie Mae, Our mothers, Our Fathers, Our Aunts, Our best Friends, Our Sunday School Teachers... These are a few of the strong people I know. They were strong people whether they knew it or not. You know strong people. People who can change the world with a poem, a song, a sermon, a speech, a few words of Encouragement. My hope is once you hear me, you’ll become Stronger. My Hope is that We all will Continue to RISE. Rise Rise and Stand UP for who we are inside. The truth is my Brother The truth is my Sister You Are The Strongest People I know. If you enjoyed this article, Join BlackInAmerica.com today for similar content and opportunities via email! |

Sister Sun, Sundra, your name is true. True, the power of a word of encouragement. I love the picture too. See what the mother is thinking, see what the child, the child uncertain (but safe) , the mother loving still. Strength (I am) in the face of all. Friday, August 7th 2009 at 4:56PM |
