Our first image of a gorgeous black Aphrodite <br />To inhabit the halls of power with charm, <br />Mrs. Obama moves over the sacred fields deftly <br />Reclaiming the realm with femininine form. <br />Sensuously challenging those who dare deny <br />Her right to bare her bronze sun-kissed skin <br />As the queen in a staid pallid white world, <br />She assumes her role with no hint of giving in. <br /> <br />A worthy image of beauty to accompany a giant of a man, <br />Mrs. Obama came riding eastward her sword at her side. <br />She planned for an agenda about change most would scorn, <br />As a product of northern honing oil and heartland pride. <br />And she feared not the hard and awful destiny ahead <br />For a beautiful black woman in a loveless town; <br />As she brought her fashion for elegance and flair, <br />Allowing a gawking world to see her face was brown. <br /> <br />As a Capricorn, Mrs. O keeps her keen focus on success, <br />Never surrendering to impatience, doubt or hesitation. <br />Her aim is narrow and exact, skillfully chosen <br />And moored on a carefully thought out foundation. <br />So doing she has inspired black women to reach higher <br />And see themselves as lovely creatures of great worth, <br />Endowed by God to motivate, teach, feed and entertain, <br />With her nurturing, an emerging color diverse earth.<br /><br />Albert Price<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/ode-to-mrs-obama/
