    MY SOUL SISTER( FOR JILL)

    When I was lost in an urban hurricane
    It was her sweet voice that led me home
    A lighthouse in the darkness
    Please,
    Read my tome

    When my family left me be
    2 follow a wayward road
    2 the Promised Land
    She halted her righteous journey
    And took my hand

    And when I was pelted
    With stones of fury
    Thrown by hands the same color as mine
    She stood tall and upheld my virtue
    She is colorblind

    My Soul Sister
    My Real Sister
    I can't resist her
    Don't you know
    Angel of Peace
    Rain down on me
    Feel my flow

    When I picked up my sword and shield
    2 fight the War for Equality
    In a Racist's Land
    By candlelight in the Gloaming
    She reviewed my battle plan

    When from dark clouds
    Lightning struck
    Its echo reverberating in the Round
    She provided me comfort and shelter
    In the Artist's Lounge

    And when I read the Scripture
    Proverbs 17, verse 17
    "And a Brother is born for adversity"
    I cross Del Bridge to my Sister's waters
    And I'm never thirsty

    My Soul Sister
    My Real Sister
    I can't resist her
    Don't you know
    Angel of Peace
    Rain down on me
    Feel my flow

    When Brother and Sister walk together
    Defined by a love that's been agreed
    Dear Father,
    Allow these words 2 pour from my heart
    Let it bleed

    When I was loathe 2 listen
    Quick 2 speak and anger burn
    My Sister's soothing words
    Diverted my fury
    At every turn

    And when I seek a place 2 call my own
    Walking a path of Righteousness
    My Father desires
    On the coldest nights she walked before me
    Preparing a Sacred Fire

    My Soul Sister
    My Real Sister
    I can't resist her
    Don't you know
    Angel of Peace
    Rain down on me
    Feel my flow

    Thank you Jill, your Brother D'ee loves you..God Bless
