Black Love
You know, when you've had a particularly bad day and it seems like all the world is doing its utmost to destroy you, there's nothing in the world like a Black Woman who has your back, no matter what.

For better or for worse
For richer or for poorer
In sickness and in health
To have and to hold
Forever and ever.
