with love
let me
be very
clear
so there is
not a shadow of
a doubt
I love
and respect
Michelle Obama
when she was
in the White House
as our First Lady
emphasis
on the word
lady
and afterward
as she has continued to
remind us
over
and over again
what grace is
yesterday
was her day
to shine
when the portrait
was unveiled
and seeing her delight
that
was
grace
it lifted
us up
to remember
and then
the same day
dereliction
when you
dissed her on the White House
front lawn
on the 250th Anniversary
of our
nation
what you
clearly
don’t know
is that
when you dis
Her
you
dis
us
half
a
nation
we see
our dignified past, present, future
in her eyes
we honor
the legacy she has built for our nation
especially our girls
who see their future
in her present
and her past
who feel seen
and heard
by her voice, her strength, her love
when
you slam
her
you
slam
us
you slam
every woman and girl
of every color and race
which
adds up
to just about
half
a
nation
and
when you go low
we rise
we rise
we will rise
we will continue to rise
as
long as
it takes
