For Sistah Women who travailed,
took deep breaths and then exhaled,
Today we light a candle,
for all they do and handle,
To each one answering the call,
with hopeful ideas that say it all:

Mind, Body and Soul Care
For Sistah Women everywhere;
sending best wishes,
blowing holy kisses;
on the occasion of your natural birth,
and how God brought your dream to earth;
a time to celebrate the goodness,
along with the love of those you bless.

As you reflect on now and then,
perhaps remember when you were ten;
may you find peace with your past,
hope for the future and your “finally” at last!
On this day, to thine own self be true,
celebrate the story and sound in you!
