Poem for Brown Girl Dreaming
When I sit under this magnolia tree
the world around me vanishes
I am free
The God I serve is with me
Embracing me
Telling me followed his will
that even when people closed their doors
I opened their hearts to see more
that even though I am not as gifted
The words you gave me kept me lifted
That one friend was all I needed
To see the beauty in all things
When I sit under this magnolia tree
I let the silence speak
fermenting around me
Even silence tells a story
A story I've longed to hear
So as I sit under this magnolia tree
I free spirit
To be here eternally
