Make her beautiful
Fill her with the radiance of
dusky African sunsets
let her warm golden glow spread like
Mississippi rivers
let her soul bring blessings
nurturing waters
incorporate the essence of life
into her very blood and
Make her beautiful
fill her heart with war drums
send Yaa to dance there
give her courage
add unto her grace
May the serenity and assurance
in her stride remind us
that our Lion Queen will
make our victories bountiful
and our backs strong
reverence her
make her occasions holy
bring the earth to the base
of her throne
and rock her core with your
worship
Forget not your sacrifices
bring your offerings of myrrh
ebony, gold, first nectars and honey
burn your sage
lift her
extol her
set her alight and enjoy her
add her to the innumerable heavens
and remind her that the
burn of illumnation
trials by fire
scorch of searing hurts
only serve to refine her
to perfect her ineffaceable image
her eternal highness
which every star has had to endure
