Black Mother Praying
Night grows deep, she kneels,
Her hopes and fears, she gently reveals.
Hands clasped tight, eyes closed in grace,
Strength and love etched on her face.
For her children, prayers ascend,
Guidance and peace, she does send.
Through trials faced, her spirit stays,
Steadfast, she lifts her voice in praise.
In every breath, a silent plea,
For safety, joy, and unity.
Her faith a beacon, shining bright,
In her prayers, she finds her might.
She asks for strength to guide their way,
To shield them through each coming day.
Through pain and joy, she stands tall,
A mother’s love, enduring all.
Her prayers like rivers, ever flowing,
With each word, her heart is showing.
In her eyes, the future gleams,
Built on hopes and sacred dreams.
Through her prayers, the world is mended,
A black mother’s love, unending.
Every night, her faith takes flight,
A black mother praying, through the night.
