Lightbulb Why We Braid Our Hair.....

Thought I would share this with everyone. Hope u like it.


Why We Baid Our Hair (poem by Stacks_Alot)

Why we braid our hair
Is by the Tradition of your people
May it be taken, married, or from birth

Why we braid our hair, is Tradition
From our Ancestors
To our Old Ones and Elders
Grandmother or Grandfather

Why we braid our hair
Is our memories
The strength of our people
In each lap and twist

Why we braid our hair
For prayers or honor
But as Creator looks down and sees us
I believe that is
why we braid our hair.

Why We Braid Our Hair (poem by Zorro)

There once was an indun mother
who cooked, beaded and cared like no other
she said with a frown
as she put her project down
dangit, I sewed myself to another!

Why We Braid Our Hair (another poem by Zorro)

If you've ever had one of those hairs
That gets caught 'tween your cheeks down there
Then you'll know what I mean
About hair in your jeans
And that's why we braid our hair!

Why We Braid Our Hair (yet another poem by Zorro)

Dear Wife, your hair has made a loop
around my toe in my boot;
If about me you care,
Then you'll braid your hair -
Because there's also one in my soup!
