3 Background Blood I will sail across the ocean blue just to save you My sweet baby girl I'll shield you from this evil world I am nothing like my mother She hated me and my brothers She never showed us love Never even gave us a single hug I was uplifted, my smile never became a frown I rescued you, refused to let you drown You always have food and clothes on your back I taught you respect, so you'll know how to act I constantly remind you of your worth You're my black angel right here on earth You will never be afraid to speak Strong and independent never weak Very intelligent with a bold heart You know what you are and what you're not My daughter, remember I love you I always will, no matter what you do By: Keena M.
