Black Man


Your mind is filled with irrefutable intellect and is constantly racing with thoughts of how you can better yourself and the world in which you live Your eyes that are so beautifully shaded brown, encompass the truth and compassion of your soul Your smile tells the story of the trials and tribulations you’ve endured to become the man that you are today—the man that I am so proud of Your shoulders withstand the burdens you feel of being an African American man in America Your chest encloses a heart which has a love of God so undeniable that people can’t help but see it Your feet walk miles and miles to try to get to your destination, to reach your dreams—which you will obtain You love God, and put Him first in your life. You obey your parents, and cherish family. You are always there for your friends—friendship is very important to you. I know life hasn’t always been easy, and there are times when you asked yourself, “why me?” I’ll tell you why. God chose you because He knows what a wonderful creation you are! You may not understand his plan, but remember God was the one who created you, so He’s capable of handling your life. Never limit Gods’ abilities, He’s limitless. You are every bit of what our ancestors dreamed of, and you are every bit of what future generations will aspire to be. God has a plan for your life. Trust him; he won’t ever let you down. When the world is holding you down, just look up
