MOM IS THE MAN
MOM IS THE MAN!
How can I love a man when the first man in my life left me!
How can I let a man lead me when the leader of home and heart was my mother!
How can I let a man be a man when my mother was the man!
How can I Love a man when 70% of our households are dominated by women!
How can I not be independent! When my mother paid the bills, cooked the meals, fixed the car and taught me to throw a ball!
How can you ask me to submit to you! When mom had to stay strong!
How can I understand the phase? “Let a man be a man, when mom was the man!”
Note: Our black men want us as black women to be like other cultures. How can we when black father are leaving their children in record numbers, therefore when you want our love & what comes along with being in a relationship think about that little girl or boy that was left behind. THEY
MIGHT BE ONE OF THAT 70%!
