Hey Black Child


Hey black child, so full of dreams, with future shining bright,
Your strength, your grace, your spirit bold, a beacon in the night.
In every step, in every stride, let confidence be found,
For you are born of kings and queens, with roots in sacred ground.
So rise and shine, and claim your place, with heart and mind so free,
Hey black child, you are the hope, of all that's yet to be.

Poetry

Child of Promise


Hey black child, with eyes so wise, and courage in your soul,
Embrace the world with all your might, and reach your highest goal.
In every challenge, every fight, your spirit will prevail,
For you are made of stardust bright, with heart that will not fail.
So stand up tall, and take your place, with pride and dignity,
Hey black child, you are the light, the future's legacy.

Rise and Shine


Hey black child, with eyes so bright,
You hold the future, pure delight.
Your strength and courage, wisdom deep,
A legacy that we must keep.
Hey black child, with dreams so grand,
The world is yours, take your stand.
With every step, with every stride,
Let pride and hope be your guide.
Hey black child, your history's strong,
In every heart, in every song.
Your heritage, a rich, bold thread,
Of heroes past, of dreams ahead.
So rise and shine, let your light beam,
For you're the future, live your dream.
Hey black child, with heart so true,
The world awaits the wonder of you.
