I am

I am a tree in a forest,

Tall and magnificent.

I house many creatures.

They love my strength and protection.

They eat of my fruit.

I am the rain,

Quenching everyone’s thirst.

I make the earth verdant and alive.

Flowers open to my drops.

I soothe the hottest skin.

I am the sun,

Bright and warm.

I warm cold places.

I bring light to your life.

Flowers lean in my direction.

I am a young black girl.

I have love in my heart.

My knowledge helps me excel.

I never hurt anyone.

Love me back.

I am me.

The best person I can be.

I listen to what you have to say.

I’ll be your friend.

Stick with me.

I am.
