I convinced myself that if I didn’t post it wouldn’t be real But here we are Marva I’m heartbroken I found out at “places” And naturally, because you’ve always been a showstopper 😂 The wailing... the grief seemed insurmountable But I had to bear down I yelled out “Alright Marva Hicks... you better CARRY ME!” And you did Like only a Howard Woman can 💙❤️ You are light and love and beauty and ease With a lil shoulder, a lil wink, and a lil cocktail You gave me hope You showed me that I could have it all, in His time That I didn’t have to hide parts of myself away That I wouldn’t have to sacrifice the passion or make myself small in exchange for love You won’t find anybody sexier ... sheeeeesh! The style The fashions The sensuality The tone The PHRASING The love I will carry you with me always Now let me go find a white button down and a good pump And press on 🖤🌺✨
