BEFORE
by Nikki Grimes

Before we were women, we were our
Daddies’ daughters, the dark
princesses who stole our fathers’
hearts. A single story says they gave
us little, except dissapointment. But ask us.

Ask me and I’ll chronicle the
currency of love Dad splurged on me, the gift
of “yes you can,” and modeling dignity in the face of
vile attacks on his manhood without ever shedding
his humanity or surrendering to sorrow.

Like many dark fathers, he’d reclaim his soul in
the sweet strains of music, a
lesson we daughters learned: siphon sadness through a song

from the book, Legacy: Women Poets of the Harlem Renaissance
by Nikki Grimes
