Young Sista

Something I put together while waiting for a friend in a government facility.... as I watched the young sista's come and go, I penned "Young Sista" ... As always your thoughts and comments are welcomed.

Young Sista
Hold your head up high
Your struggles seem to
Weigh you down, but keep
The faith good things will come

Young Sista
You may be pregnant and it’s unplanned
Make your choices and take a firm
Stand, but make sure finishing your
Education is a part of your plans

Young Sista
I hear you are looking for love
And in all the wrong places
Gang members, dropouts, drug dealers
Will love you for the moment but not
Til the end

Young Sista
You are our future, and yours
Should be bright
So when you make choices
Try and do what’s right

Young Sista
Learn from life and not just your books
There’s an opportunity to learn
No matter where you look
Make the world your school and
Information and knowledge your tools

Young Sista
Take time to pause, you’ve got
Your whole life ahead of you
Determine who you are and what you
Are destine to do, face the challenges
Obstacles and forge on make your goal
Your main cause

Young Sista
You are not alone
There are many of us who
Once walked in your shoes
Keep your head up and stand strong
Take advantage of all that life has to offer
Cause young sista the
World is yours




Just the way I see it.
Until next time,

Nay-Nay
