Everyone Will Know
Rich brown skin, hair that of wool. Eyes so bright, and a heart so full.
Educated and creative. Mindful and Strong. They call you weak, I say they're wrong. A lover, a father, a provider and it shows. You are a black man, and everyone will know.
When life throws you lemons, I will make you lemonade. I will let you know that you are needed and that won't fade. You are a wise being with knowledge that continues to grow. You are great man and everyone will know.
I will treat you like the black man you are. With dignity and respect you deserve. I am your woman, the woman spoken of in Proverbs 31. My love for you is easy to show, because you are my man and everyone will know.
And with the help of God, we will both grow. May we be quick to give, and slow to take. May our faith move mountains and hard to shake. Renew our mind, body, and our soul. For you are a man of God and everyone will know.
May our strength be magnified by the mutual love for each other. We both have what the other need and we wont find that in another. We can pull out all of the dirt and grim. All the sin and slim. You are a part of me, and everyone will know.
You build the house, and in return, I will make you a home. You work hard and I appreciate the love you have shown. I will love you like you never been loved, and care like no one has ever cared. You are a man, and everyone will know.
And if they try to kill you, you will never die. Your spirit is with my spirit, so let them try. You are black man and everyone will know. You are to be loved and respected. Dignified and accepted. For you are my man, I'll let everyone will know.
