Hey Little Black Girl
Hey Little Black Girl I entered a food court behind a group of students. As I come down the escalator, I see this cute little black girl. She is with the group, yet she is alone. I proceed to get my food and find a seat. I sit and notice the same precious girl eating alone. I glanced at her and smiled. She smiled back. If I had the opportunity to speak with her, here is what I would say. Hey little black girl. Do you know who you are? You’re the rarest of gems, The brightest of stars. Hey little black girl. Don’t sit alone. Sit at the table and Be the backbone That you were meant to be Like the heritage of black women Since slavery. Hey little black girl Don’t be too shy To lean in and Project your voice it can not be denied. Hey little black girl I just want you to know You have a strong foundation On which to grow. Hey little black girl I have one last thing to say, You will become a phenomenal woman One day
