Black Love in the Midst

This is where I aspire to be. I mean pictures really do speak a thousand words. There is nothing more sexy than growing wise with the man/woman the Creator sent to you. As this beautiful Black couple share an embrace, they look to Him for guidance, strength, unity, light, and love. Isn't that powerful?! Love like this don't always come around and in the midst of a society built on "if you cant love em, leave'em", "drop it like its hot", "blame it on the alcohol", or "when I get you to the crib" lines would we expect anything different?

Its Black History Month, but to me every day is filled with Black History. I choose to be a living example of what Black love should look like. It should be warm, embracing, cosy, respectful, "I got yo back", "you had me at hello", finish my sentence type of love. I'm on my way after 12 years of marriage but please believe I have a long way to go. I just pray that my still photo of marriage mimics this one.
