Queens by Ashanti Taylor-Alexander

Queens

Embrace who you are, my gorgeous queens Bearing light to the world every moment you tread on scene It’s the way you flip your hair and the manner you arch your smiles The way you float on by in the freshest fashions and styles My queens, I grant you nothing but the utmost respect Because only god recognizes the true wrecks of others presented neglect You deserve feasts, gifts, worship, and indeed the world on a platter So run in royalty, my queens and observe the others scatter It doesn’t matter what negative the next might say Because this is your world not just for the occasion but every day Your gentle but powerful sensitive but tough Bringing life into this world has got to be rough My queens just recall to keep your heads high And recognize your worth and your artistry fine as wine Because you my queens, no one can compare You, my queens your royalty is something to be feared Walk in your skin proudly and please understand That you are queens at delivery and no matter what the answer is …“Yes You Can”
