IN Her FACE

face of a Black Woman

The face of the Black woman…

You are the grace not our disgrace
The face to which we all embrace
The face to raise the human race...
The face the Devil dared deface

The face to make the body simmer
The face to make the timber shiver
The face to make the loins quiver
The face to make a man ‘deliver’

The face to keep me holding on
The face to make me want a son
The face that make you number 1
The face for whom the church bells rung
