Rise up & Be Healed


Our Virtue is beautiful Precious queens stand before him, casting shadows of grace and tranquility While stars twinkle against the midnight sky as beautiful as her caramel skin, leaving the sweet scent of honey dew Did I mention her presence is beautiful? Eyes slanting like the crescent shape of the moon giving way to the lineage of ancestors that came before her time Did I mention her strength is beautiful? Her laugh echoes through the heart of Nigeria connecting the innocence of our beauty Did I mention her culture is beautiful? The ocean pools from the blue in her smile overshadowing the scars left upon pure white skin from the pain of her past Did I mention her daughters are beautiful? God I must ask, why you created Woman? What was your purpose of allowing our feminist ways to leak into this male dominant society? Our minds being corrupted by independence that our opposite gender takes pride in Who are they to ask if we are woman enough to be considered beautiful? Who are they to ask if we are feminist enough for our culture? I, We, Woman was created to live a life of worship, God you, our creator destined us to be the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys Our strength wipes away the tears from little girls faces who ask the question-why aren't they beautiful enough for man? God, you give us your word for the times that our heart is broken and our spirit is shattered We were given spiritual freedom for every father who is missing out on her heavenly smile or overlooking the jade in her eyes Did I mention we as woman can be easily broken but not destroyed once we are healed? Healing brings forth… Healthy eating So Mothers will rise on the word of God Abundant living So Daughters will rise to live a blessed and purposeful life Empowered Deliverance So Sisters will rise to have the strength in God to walk in spiritual freedom Rise, Rise up and be healed Beautiful virtues women
