First, I want to say welcome to all the new subscribers to my blog. September is a special month for me, so I’m going to be celebrating all month long with guest bloggers, favorite posts, etc.  If you stick around until at least the middle of the month, you’ll know why I’m celebrating :)

What Is It?
by Shelia M Goss

Is it the sound in my voice
That makes them take a glance?
Or is it the stride of my walk
Because I’m a proud woman?
What Is It?
Is it the twinkle in my eyes
That keeps them looking on?
Or is it the groove of my back
Tall, Black, and Strong?
What Is It?

I find myself wondering
Do They like me for me?
Or Is it the outer appearance
They only want to see?

Behind the voice and body
There’s a strong mind.
If they could only look inward
They’ll be surprised at what they’ll find.

Yes, When I speak, People stop to listen.
And to look into my eyes, you will see them glisten.

But If you take a chance and look deeper within;
You’ll see that I’m much more
than just a Black woman.
