-about love

I have learned not to worry about love; but to honor its coming with all my heart.

--Alice Walker

Everytime I  google 'black love', Our President and The First Lady's pictures always pop up. Their pictures are more appropriate than all the others; they're not posing for a photoshoot. These two are in love. I love seeing The First Lady holding on to her man, and I love the glow on his face. I'm sure it's not just because, at the time, he had won the Democratic nomination for The Presidency. It's also because, beside (not behind) every great man is a great woman.
