Sisters, sisters, sisters...whether you are jet black, light skinned or almond brown
Even in your worst moment, all of you are so beautiful, dutiful, and wonderful to be around
So many times when my head was down - the God in you found a way to uplift me
What inspiration you give me
And when you intently express your concern and care for my well being
All the pressures of the world drift away-you give life new meaning sisters
You are akin to a soothing musical voice- a pleasant melody
To be adored by you is every brother's fantasy
So I take this time to say- God bless you sisters, we love you
And as I recite these lines I'm interceding for other brothers too-cuz you know what we can put you through
So please accept this apology-queens of the earth- black men say that we are sorry
My words have bowed knees for any brother that did you wrong
And drove you to a brief point where you felt that you could not go on
Forgive us please, if we turned you cold and caused you devastation
From things like unemployment, drug and gambling addictions and incarcerations
Forgive us please-for our lying lips that led straight to your hips
When we told you that you were all that and a bag of chips
Yes we'll do acrobatic flips
To get to your chocolate Milky Way and then after that- missing-in-action (MIA)
That's why I ask today for you to forgive us...the incense of forgiveness is so sweet to us
So let me start to rebuild your trust by saying you are a plus in this negative world
Black woman you are as precious as cowry shells and ocean pearls
So my words extend a bent knee-
Black woman will you please accept my apology?
