If we can
Just but
Whisper words to the universe
One word would be
Gratitude
We first thank our ancestors
For paving paths
Not clear where
They would lead
But
Trusting
In the God they prayed to
That one day
Their Gratitude
Continued to produce
Greatness
Courage
Strength
Perseverance
Vision
And love for people
Whose purpose is often
Diminished and/or Eliminated
It is our turn
To whisper and
To shout
Our Gratitude
To our beloved sisters,
Beverly and Vicki
For carrying the dreams
Of our ancestors
While providing
Black Faculty & Staff
The opportunity to
Dream new Dreams
