Acknowledge Me

Acknowledge me

Acknowledge me

And my dears

Acknowledge me

And my tears 

And my laughs and my fears

Acknowledge what makes me happy

And sad

Acknowledge the ups and downs in life

Acknowledge my daughter and my wife

Or my husband, my next to kin

Acknowledge me and my worst sin

Acknowledge my son, my mother

And all my other mothers

Acknowledge my home

My cat, my dog and my moon

Acknowledge voice, my love, my race

My ancestors, my angels, my face

Acknowledge my roots and my truths 

For they are your roots

And your truths too

Acknowledge yourself

Acknowledge me

For we are the same.
