I yearn for a strong black
Poem
- Nichelle, 1995
I yearn for a strong black
Man to just hold me
To love me, to understand
Me, a black woman
But I must first become
A strong black woman
Worthy of the love that
I should receive
I must strengthen my mind
Body, and soul so
That when that strong
Black man comes along
I will be ready
The process shall now begin.
