In the midst of uncertainty that grips our nation may we ever be mindful that hope is always alive and always will be. May we take hold of this force given by God alone to become all that He has ordained us to become. Nothing can separate us from His Love!
Sunshine on my face
Singing with my voice
Joy in my soul
I am alive
With Hope coursing through my being
I Will thrive
Beyond the horizon of man
Regardless of the crimes of the times
Injustices of prejudices
(We all got some)
Race to judgments marred by a traditional mindset
I will chose to celebrate life
Like a void with teeth gnawing at me
Or gasping for air as I despair of drowning under the waves of oppression, injustice, and systemic opinions that never asked me an honest question to discover who I am
We all got a story
As we rise to taste the glory
Of hope realized
Vision materialized
In my hands I hold the prize
Like…
I’m a cop
Dreamed as a little boy as I played with toys to carry out my vision
I was for real not pretending
As a little girl I tucked in my pony tail and chased down the criminal with no fear in me.
To protect my neighborhood
And those who did good
I had hope to become
Have hope as I am
Stay in hope as I aspire to finish my course
I will hold the line
pray for my brothers as they shoot us down
I will not loose hope that most of America is for me
I am a officer of and for the peace
Sunshine on my face
Singing with my voice
Joy in my soul
I am alive
With Hope coursing through my being
Like….
I’m a student wanting to go to college
Smart and determined to be somebody
Don’t know how is going to happen
It’s my hope that keeps me dreaming
Need a chance to become
Through the battle didn’t become rattled
Now I’m elevated and elated with the hope that kept me
I have graduated
Sunshine on my face
Singing with my voice
Joy in my soul
I am alive
With Hope coursing through my being
Like…
I’m a poet born to arrange words that captures the attention of the soul
That waters dry placed to fill voids
Pushing forth love, hope and joy
Refusing to align my heart with acid like hate that drips darkness from the lips
I got sunshine bursting out of me
Get to choose the harmony I align my words with
Reject the idea that humans are different in the sense that we all have hearts to love
I’m a poet gifted to bring forth words that heal
love that covers
the multitude of the sins of each other
We are all one of another made by the same heavenly Father
His Son frees to be freed
from this bondage of fear driven
Division making
Condemnation
The worse contamination
That only blinds us from what we really need to see…
love
Hope
and Unity
Sunshine on my face
Singing with my voice
Joy in my soul
I am alive
With Hope coursing through my being
Like…
I’m a color of some kind
Tan, brown, white or black
The color is not who I am
It only represents a part of me
I like you- have a story
That’s amazing
It’s our stories that feed the souls of each other
Who
What
Why
Are you?
You came forth by hope
Made to live by hope
Can only thrive through hope
Yield and let hope in you shine through
God will
Only believe
can you feel it…?
HOPE is what we as living souls
Breath…
Sunshine on my face
Singing with my voice
Joy in my soul
I am alive
With Hope coursing through my being
