Last night I saw a sister, a mother, a wife,
A brilliant woman and divine creation of God
Express her love, her loyalty, her commitment
To her husband, her partner, the father of her children
Her lover and her friend
I could hear her heart beat for him

She stood proud and confident
Clearly creating a blueprint of what this man she loves dearly
Has in store for our families, our children, our elders, our country
A change the masses hope for
A change the majority with power fear
I could hear her heart beat for him

Engaging me with her enthusiasm
Her warm yet radiant tone
Filled with passion for her mate
Who has taken on the mission
To lead our nation into a better future
I could hear her heart beat for him

She made no promises that
He could not keep
For tonight was not about promises
Tonight was a matter of the heart
The reason great men have great women
To let their light shine and to do God’s will for all
I could hear her heart beat for Him

A writing I penned after Michelle Obama spoke at President Barak Obama's 1st Democratic Convention August 26, 2008.

“Writing is a potion of devotion, magical, mysterious and mighty” Desta

"Love is like the sea. It's a moving thing, but still and all, it takes its shape from the shore it meets, and it's different with every shore. ”
Zora Neale Hurston

Behind every good man, there's a good woman.
