An Inspiration of Maya Angelou - His Hand


In honor of Maya: I am not worthy, but she is certainly one of my greatest inspirations!




His Hand
Dorothea Davis
5/28/2014

I felt his hand holding me up
The pedestal was not enough
His strong masculine affirmation was pressed
Against my thighs and I leaned
I leaned into him and on him and he pressed against me
My confidence did not come from his within but without and was
Complimented by all that he supported me with
Love, dignity, respect and honor did he clothe me like his Queen
In royal purples and rich red hues he clothed me and love me too
I felt his hand holding me, squeezing me, caressing me and blessing me

I need a deep man who can run his fingers through my nappy hair and not whence at cottony softness that embellishes this crown He has to be deeper than me to contain this heart that dreams of a life poured into a cast iron skillet and fried up to perfection These thighs are not small or improperly structured to fit around his But they are perfection as God has molded me to him Yes, he has to be deep and not afraid of his own greatness or mine Deeper... It is only a state of freedom and...

GOOD MORNING! In my morning meditation walk at work, I was encouraged by Holy Spirit to remember and to remind you that GREATER IS HE WHO IS IN US THAN HE WHO IS IN THE WORLD! I want to encourage you to NEVER let anyone or any circumstance outside of you change, manipulate, contort or distort who God (CREATOR) created you to be! YOU ARE: Fearfully and wonderfully made and nothing less The head and not the tail and nothing less Above and not beneath and nothing less The righteousness of God and nothing less The manifested hope of times past and nothing less BECAUSE GOD IS GREATINYOU, YOU ARE GREATER THAN WHERE YOU ARE RIGHT NOW AND NOTHING LESS! Head up! Shoulders back! Chest out! Now, let's go get it! Loving YOU to Life! Dorothea Manley, Project Speak Life
