Sisterhood Is Powerful: I Am My Sister's Keeper

Sisterhood Is Powerful

God sent us to be sisters

So we can be best of friends

To be there for one another

Even when there is pain

I thank the Lord for sending my sisters to me

For whom I truly love and care

We shared so many things together

Like laughter and some scares

It’s funny how we sometimes argue

I guess its normal, in this world

But, having you as my sister

Means more to me, more than you'll ever know

I wouldn’t trade you for anything

I will never let go

As our friendship continues to grow

So will my love for you

Just always remember you can talk to me

I'll be the best friend you ever knew

Phenomenal Woman by Dr. Maya Angelou

Pretty women wonder where my secret lies.

I'm not cute or built to suit a fashion model's size

But when I start to tell them,

They think I'm telling lies.

I say,

It's in the reach of my arms

The span of my hips,

The stride of my step,

The curl of my lips.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

I walk into a room

Just as cool as you please,

And to a man,

The fellows stand or

Fall down on their knees.

Then they swarm around me,

A hive of honey bees.

I say,

It's the fire in my eyes,

And the flash of my teeth,

The swing in my waist,

And the joy in my feet.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Men themselves have wondered

What they see in me.

They try so much

But they can't touch

My inner mystery.

When I try to show them

They say they still can't see.

I say,

It's in the arch of my back,

The sun of my smile,

The ride of my breasts,

The grace of my style.

I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.

Now you understand

Just why my head's not bowed.

I don't shout or jump about

Or have to talk real loud.

When you see me passing

It ought to make you proud.

I say,

It's in the click of my heels,

The bend of my hair,

the palm of my hand,

The need of my care,

'Cause I'm a woman

Phenomenally.

Phenomenal woman,

That's me.
