You
were robbed
And
there’s no two ways about it
But
you’ll overcome because you’re a champion
And
that’s what champions do
Double
standards exist like rot to the soul
And
without pioneers change is bankrupted
You
speak truth to power and make the world a better place
I
watch you out there on the court and am in awe of your finesse and savage
fierceness
Your
daughter is so lucky you’re her mommy because there’s no question you protect
her against all intruders and that includes the people who talk smack about you
Boundaries
broken, raw emotions on display when comfort zones are forfeited and trophies
are melted down
Over
the years I’ve witnessed your outrage turn to cool water and it rekindles any
humanity left smoldering in my old man bones
Something
there is about you sparks lightning revolts of master strokes and enduring
loyalty as tears well up in my eyes and I thank Jehovah you were born
