Across the miles
Across the ages
Parchments
Scrolls
and ancient pages
Tell of Beauty
Dark and Sweet
from palace royal
to city street
Our daughters
Mothers of the earth
The queens of men
of noble birth
Protect them
Love them
Make them strong
while death yet tarries,
but not long
Instill in her
a sense of self
that no man
places on a shelf
And father,
when you’ve gone away
with her inheritance
she’ll say
I want a man just like my dad
who saw the worth in what he had
in me and mother with his love
that he now shares in skies above
Across the miles
Across the ages
Parchments
Scrolls
and ancient pages
Tell of Beauty
Dark and Sweet
from palace royal
to city street
Beyond Panic

Thank you. Kind of indulging myself for Black History Month. Enjoying the release of being able to write in celebration, something I’ll do more often as the mood strikes.
