To Baby Nae,
I woke up out of my sleep with you on my mind and all God gave me was LIKE YOU.
The song says, JESUS LOVES THE LITTLE CHILDREN, ALL THE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD WHETHER YELLOW, BLACK, BROWN OR WHITE THEY ARE PRECIOUS IN HIS SIT JESUS LIVE THE LITTLE CHILDREN OF THE WORLD.
A love of this magnitude means ALL that then have, don’t have, do, don’t know can and can’t, HE LOVES YOU JUST THE SAME.
I thought about how confident, brilliant, intelligent, beautiful, intentional and willing you to and when you speak.
I swelled with great pride because I too am in your sisterhood circle and village.
The older you get, the more cruel your peers can get, let them.
The older you get, the more your peers will attempt to strip you of your confidence, don’t let them.
The older you get, the more your peers will put others against you for THEIR perceived differences of you, let them.
The older you get, the more your peers will attempt to paint you erroneously, let them.
THE OLDER YOU GET, THE MORE YOUR PEERS WILL NOT UNDERSTAND YOUR DIFFERENT ABILTY.
Stand strong
Stand bold
Stand confident
Stand assured
Stand up
Stand in the middle of your village
Now back to that LIKE YOU…..
