We are not lucky
We are blessed
And highly favored
Appointed
And anointed
With ancestors
who come marching in
Uncanonized
Unbridled
Unburdened
No Vatican blessing
Powerful and interceding
We are not lucky
We are determined
Resilient and Resourceful
Rebellious and Revolutionary
Working twice as hard
Twice as long
For half the recognition
We are not lucky
We are deserving
We are reaping
The harvest
Our foremothers planted
We are icebergs
That you underestimate
Seeing only the tip of our success
Crying when we
Rip your hull wide open
This is the magic
Of surviving
Of covering our skin
In Faith like coconut oil
Braiding hope in our hair
No smoke and mirrors
No slight of hand
We are not lucky
We are God

Be catalytic
Be supportive
Be coffee and kisses in the morning
Be a memory
Be an anticipation
Be acceptance
Be understanding
Be a shoulder
Be a listening ear
Be the question they need to ask themselves
Be inspiration
Be an overwhelming smile on the train
Be rich soil
Be sunshine
Be cuddles on the couch
Be deep conversation
Be laughter
Be new music in their headphones
Be a random FaceTime check in
Be an evening phone call just to hear their voice
Be a cheerleader
Be an audience
Be a kiss on the back of the neck
Be therapeutic
Be a warm heart and cool hands
Be a space held
Be generous
Be magic
Be a warm blanket on a cold night or cool breeze on a hot day
Be a glass of water at the side of the bed
Be heart eyes and fire emojis on an Instagram post
Be yourself
Be freedom
Be love
