Imani's Forty!

Four decades ago the Creator saw fit to knit me together/Breathe life into my lungs- purposefully chose me to be a daughter not a son/in His likeness perfect but with certain imperfections, flawed but yet and still flawless/Nonetheless according to His plan and I AM SPECIAL no matter what the devil/tries to whisper in my ear tries to strip me out of gear-I can conquer ALL/Because I carry in my spirit the strength of the Queens of faith/That bear witness to my legacy: Esther, Ruth, Sarai.../Though I was once like the woman who ailed for twelve years/I have tugged on the Messiah's tunic and have been healed/And filled...And I'm grateful for this chance to dance in the fields of FORTY.
