"Testifyin'
and Defyin'
Age
At every stage,
Those ain't tears
About my years,
That's WiZdom rain;
Sweatin' out the pain
Y'all ain't gonna catch me cryin'
Radiatin' the Source from head to toe
Spreadin' my woman wings; so, look out below!
Gettin' older don't mean you
Gotta FEEL older ... y'all must be lyin'
I'm an O.G.: Omnipresent & Gifted
The Heir in my Spirit keeps me lifted
Fierce Fabulous & FemNomenal without even tryin' ....
Umph, Sky Flyin'! "

I'm so glad I listened to YOU God
I sought YOU first, and YOU gave me the Nod
I hear it
In my Spirit!
A New Year of YOU keeping me sweetly in Love's Loop
Yey! I did it ... I Believed ... Thank YOU God, for "The Chocolate Scoop!"
