This time of year causes moments of reflection and I just wanted to take a moment to honor my husband, father and son! My “He’s”
To Joe T., Kirk Sr., and Kirk Jr.
His strength is unparalleled
Bred for centuries to carry a nation on his back
Bound and yoked he became the backbone of a country
His only compensation a beating and the fierce love of His woman
His passion is unequalled
Working beyond completion ensuring production and progress of a land forced to be his home
All while providing the love and intimacy needed to increase the only product that would love him back- a family
His spirit is resilient
Bouncing back time after time from consistent rejection
Without the recompense for the relentless toil, unpaid labor and irrefutable damages done to his personhood
His light
Continues to shine and blind as he demonstrates his indissoluble will
He presses forward defying the odds, shattering statistics and breaking records
His beauty is external
But far surpasses the realms of natural
He is indestructible, unstoppable, brilliant and dazzling
I am
His queen, his constant support, his prayer warrior and friend
I am
Grateful and thankful he is mine
