It is the usual way of each of us To wonder if the passing year Saw the best of us.

People will come and people will go Much like the melting of snow.
When you wish upon a star Think about where you really are Is there ground beneath your feet? Do you have enough to eat? Wishes come from everywhere Some carelessly tossed here and there Wanting things before your eyes Wanting riches to the skies But somewhere a wish is sent…
We ran and we played all though the hood Doing things we shouldn’t and things that we should Over fences, through ditches we made our way That's how children played back in the day.
My Hope: We must stop the internal fighting and put that energy towards solutions. We are suffocating ourselves with anger and compliancy. Let us focus upon what we have in common, not our differences. My Prayer for the world... May we aspire to the greatness of our collective souls.
Birthday celebrations have always escaped me. It makes me uncomfortable to have people treat me differently as they rally to support my birth. I really had nothing to do with it.
As separate as we may feel, we are together. As strong as we may present, we are still fragile. As loud as our heart beats, it’s the music of our soul. As the day draws to darkness, we bow our heads Giving thanks for those we have love and lost.
It is a tedious trek, head kept low Keeping to me the things I know Privileged by the color of my skin Privileged by the silence of my sins.

Knock me down and color me amazed that anything that I had to say vibrated with others. But then I realized that it's what I've been doing all of my life. Trying to vibrate with others.
