I don’t own the rights to this music. In these troubling times the message in this song is powerful now more than ever. Why do we keep fighting when we can achieve more by living in unity?

Say Their Names
Today is Mother’s Day. For many it’s a time of celebration, but for many black Mothers it is their 911. It is the day their hearts are filled with sadness for the lives of their children unjustly taken away. Let us in black community stand together in solidarity with the grieving mothers. Let their children’s death not be in vain. Today and every Mother’s Day, let us say their names.

In a civilized society we cannot continue to make excuses for the deaths of unarmed black men. Every citizen has the right to life irrespective of skin color. Every mother deserves to experience joy on Mother’s Day.
Poetry
I Can go on
I can go on,
In spite of shattered dreams,
And broken promises, I can go on.
I can go on,
When all seems lost,
And sorrow seems to,
Fragment my heart, I can go on.
I can go on,
When pain seems to be
My best friend,
And joy threatens to subside, I can go on.
I can forget
The hurt of yesterday,
And embrace tomorrow,
Knowing that,
If I have love in my heart,
No matter what
May come my way,
I can and I will go on.
Poetry
Love Found Me
You unlocked the door to my heart
I thought I had locked it and threw
away the key, but you found it
and you freed me.
It’s enough to hear you whisper
I love you so much dear.
But it’s ever nicer that you take the time
To show me how much you care.
Relationship
How do I Love Thee
How do I love thee?
Let me count the ways
I love the way you smile
That twinkle in your eyes,
I love the sound of your heart
Beating gently against mine.
I love the way you love me
And I love you too,
Darling to eternity
It will just be me and you.
Sweet Bitter Love
Dear sweet beautiful woman
I wish I could take you back in time
To where you saw love through rose colored lenses.
Dear beautiful woman
I wish I could take you back in time
To where falling in love was like falling
into a sweet dream you didn’t want to wake up from.
Dear beautiful woman all is not lost,
In time your broken heart will heal,
And perhaps one day You will find love again!
Love Fires
Love Fires
Love fires burn a tender flame,
Inextinguishable,
No matter the storm or rain.
A small spark,
A slow flame,
And then a blazing furnace,
When love fires burn.
Forest fires will eventually go out,
A candle will burn itself out,
The coal in the fireplace will go out,
Love fires once lit,
Will burn to eternity,
Love fires never go out.
Happy Easter
They crucified him by nailing him to a cross. But on the third day He rose from the grave. Through his death a resurrection we can have life more abundantly. Have a Happy Easter Sunday!
Relationships
Who you fall in love with is destined by fate. While we can plan for most aspect of our lives, when it comes to love the best made plans can fall to pieces. Often emotions take over and you find you are no longer in control. The heart wants what the heart wants and sometimes the heart gets what the heart wants, and yet relationships fail.
Sometimes the excitement is all in the chase and once the prize is won the excitement diminishes and complacency sets in. People begin taking each other for granted, passions wains…. Often times relationships fail because people don’t take the time to try to make it work. Like everything else, in order to be a success, relationships take work.
Merry Christmas
Unto us a child is born. He came so we can have life and have it more abundantly. Let us remember the reason for the season. Love, Joy and Peace to everyone.
