Have you seen her
Pretty sure you have
Within the smile
That lights up your face
And puts the glint in your eye
She's the epitome of human grace
Down the corridor
In the dim tones of a faint parlor
Among the jewels
On the gallery of virtue
Have you seen her
Angels peel the layer
Of clouds to ravel her aura
Yet she's a down-to-earth
Woman a real new lease of breath
Her regal moniker
Is written in amber
Water on the sand
An almost divine calligraphy
Stolen from a tablet on pyramids
In the crimson velvet moon
The size of a gold coin
The fetus of nature swoons
Cuddled closer to her loins
Have you seen her
She is like tripping over a memory
Like a discarded shoe in the dark
And finding the roots of your history
That gets your flame a new spark
Her flair hits different
Like she's God's specimen
His divine sealed testament
To the sons of men
But have you seen her
She's the recondite tail
Of a shooting star
Have you seen her
Regal level of swagger
Burn off the afternoon magma
With a woman's vintage tender
A fading moonlight
A new twilight
Another timeline
She's the giver of life
She has a natural presence
But she ain't no ball of sentiment
She is everybody's Mama
She's everybody's sister
She's everybody's daughter
And she's an especially woman
She's often misunderstood
Thru the light she's construed
Yet she hold up her own
Like she build up a home
She mends a broken bone
By her soft whispered tone
Falling like sheets of snow
Touching soothing the lone
Sentinel in a garden gnome
Have you seen her
In the splendor of the supernova
She splice like a Belle
Never cuts like Jezebel
Her footfall is a lullaby
She's the perfect alibi
To put your soul at rest
On the quest to be the best
Have you seen her
I'm pretty sure you have
She's the Queen of class.
Pretty sure you have

That lights up your face
