There is comfort in this union
There is a bond between us
We know each other
Our souls connected…
We are family, and we are love
My mama and my papa, they are my guide
My sisters and my brothers, they are my friends
This is my family, they are my inspiration

To deny yourself solitude,
is to deny the very gift that God is giving you.

In the movie Dangerous Minds, there is a contest in which the students of this teacher (Michelle Pfeiffer) […]

A simple lake, is the perfect place
To spend the time…
because life is not a race…
Relaxing and laughing
sitting… and talking…

My dear, you cannot have everything that you want.
But I’ll give you everything that you need.
Material things are not important…
Still my heart aches at your sadness…

I walked past you, without you noticing.
I caught a brief glimpse of our future,
And you didn’t even know.
That moment,
Time let me in on a secret.
A happiness, a love, a future
Years of bliss, of togetherness
of fights and breakups
of hugs and of kisses

Swing. Swing on by.
Swing with your hearts content.
No worries, just fun.
No work, just play.
Swing my sweetheart, Swing on…

I saw this picture, and I wrote the following. Just so refreshing.
Beautiful soul, wonderful smile, innocence that is you.
You love me, you don’t even know why.
You are my baby and you are my sunshine.
The world is your wonderland, and I am your guide.
Thank you for joining me on this journey,
I don’t […]

Earlier, I sent my friend a simple poem that I wrote in probably less than a minute, no editing, just from the heart. This friend of mine is a female, one of my best friends, and I’ve always liked this situation that we had together. She’s always had a different perspective on things, […]

I love women, they are my inspiration in everyday life. My girlfriend, my mom, my aunt, my grandmother… they are all women of inspiration to me.
Another woman that I adore is Maya Angelou, she’s just a wonderful human being, a gifted poet, and an inspirational soul. Here’s a great song inspired by the […]

I’ve never actually known anyone who committed or even attempted suicide, but this I know. The devastation that it leaves, I wish for no family or individual…
Grasp on to hope, cling on to life… my brother, my sister… I need you… I need your light, I need your smile, I need your laughter…
You […]

I reach out and you meet me halfway, you search for my index finger and cover it like a blanket on a cold winter’s night
We walk briskly in the darkening day. I look left towards you, and you look away… You start swaying both our arms, in stride as I look at you again… […]

Tonight’s episode is about second chances, when a former gang member is given a second chance, and his family is the recipient of […]
