My crown and glory is my hair.
Thinning though it may be
when it looks good,
I look and feel good too.
kinky, curly, wavy or straight
my hair represents me.
It is who I am.
When it acts the way I choose
I’m on top of the world
demanding respect,
and-
crying with a loud voice
without saying a word.
Look at me!
Don’t I look good?
Thick like wool.
Soft like cotton.
Long and flowing,
short and sassy
my hair demands to be noticed.
Although it’s not what it use to be
and may never be again
thanks to crochet, weave and wigs;
a beautiful comb, barrette, or a scrunchy placed just right.
My hair can once again take center stage
as my crown and glory.
