Letters to Generations Then and Now
Dear Past
You labored children
You will never see
And still had the
Courage to strive to be free
You took a stand
And stood so tall
For those you would
Never see at all
You had enough faith
To sacrifice for a dream
That could have easily never come true
and all I can say is
Thank you
Dear Present
To the black babies with little brown toes
Your smile brings joy defeating every woe
To the black girls with big dreams inside of you
Every desire you have shall come true
To the black women leading the way
Shine your light; today is the day
To the black elders whose wisdom inspires us all
Your legacy forever stands tall
