A Mahogany Dime
A Mahogany Dime is a brilliant being.
The perfect ten of African descent: caramel, honey, dark brown
The mystic medleys of our tones are like precious jewels on a crown.
Intellectual, confident, strong, eloquent,
For every woman, she is the true paradigm. The quintessential lady,
a Mahogany Dime.
A Mahogany Dime is a spiritual sista.
She gives her tenth, knowing she’s a ten.
She believes in God for he dwells within.
Steadfast, faithful, earnest, merciful,
The core of her soul is indeed sublime. No doubt, she is a Mahogany
Dime.
A Mahogany Dime is a wonderful wife.
She’s devoted to her husband and is still a good mother.
Her house is in order for she’s forsaken all others.
Nurturing admirable, loving, adorable,
Her pledge to her family is for a lifetime. Naturally, she is a
Mahogany Dime.
A Mahogany Dime is a competent cook.
Soul food is born in her kitchen: fried chicken, collard greens,
Gravy on homemade biscuits, served with yams and lima beans,
Delectable, enticing, tempting, tantalizing,
Like her succulent steaks, she is indeed prime. Always appetizing,
a Mahogany Dime.
A Mahogany Dime is a fit female.
Her work-out is diverse. She runs, lifts, and swims
Sometimes training at home when she can’t get to the gym.
Muscular, athletic, vigorous, majestic,
She knows her temple also demands time. That’s why she’s a Mahogany
Dime.
A Mahogany Dime is a distinctive dame.
She is not perfect by nature, yet her essence is without flaw.
Her resplendent radiance induces any man’s awe.
Sensual, rhythmic, sexy, Afrocentric,
Sharing her company is eternal summertime. That’s what makes her
a Mahogany Dime.
