I Prayed for Dark-Skinned Children

So, when I look at my daughter’s deep brown skin, I see my answered prayers and the ending of multi-generational brokenness and lies. I am pleased with her brown eyes. Happy to detangle her tight coils. Love the intensity of her black/brown skin, one of many things my foremothers were systematically denied, the ability to love themselves and their children as they are.
