Queens

Who do you spend the most time with?

When my cup has been poured

They fill me to overflowing

Heart wells up full of love empowering

To lift up my head and see their glory

All the ways they are winning

Lights me up

has me glowing.

Thank you queen.

Do you have any collections?

Are you a leader or a follower?

I am a leader who speaks truth in love

I am a woman whose heart’s filled with love

I am a mother who loves her children deeply

I am a teacher who never stops believing

I am a sister who fills in some of the gaps

I am a friend who wipes tears and laughs

I am a forever student who is always learning

I am a professional, morale merits earnings

I am a child who needs love and attention

I am a soul who’s divinely protected
