Happy Father’s Day!
(A poem I wrote several years ago, in response to the Black Woman’s Creed)
The Black Man’s Creed
I have looked hard enough to see
I have looked hard enough to hear
I have looked hard enough to find
I have seen your strength and courage
I have heard your echoes of pain and struggles for freedom
I have found your name etched in the very fabric of time
You are a warrior, a healer, a Queen
A mother, a sister, an auntie, a friend
