Dear Chocolate Brutha

Dear Chocolate Brotha,

I love you so much because I can see it in your beautiful eyes – Your determination, your fight, your struggle, your perseverance. 

You have that spirit that gives you the courage to withstand all obstacles. That spirit that measures your man-hood, that defies defeat -  that spirit in which your mother’s breasts nourished you for what’s to come, makes me fall in love with you over and over, again.  

Your eyes tell about the passion you have for family. I see the pain in your eyes, frustrated that you have to work twice as hard to get a nod - having to pat your own self on the back when you know that recognition is due. 

My heart bursts at the thought of your strength.  I admire your endurance, humility and humble spirit.  I fall in love with you over and over again, my Chocolate Brotha.
