Poem Title:
Poem
I always look forward to what you say Sometimes words in black fade to gray No doubt as family has to find a way We are stronger than we could have imagined No textbook lesson is enough To get thru life’s trials and stuff Sometimes you have to fight and scuff To get to day’s end Hello, hello I rise again I say thank you and begin, begin A brand new journey that I’ve never seen I stand up in it and view the scene No one can tell me what the day may bring Hell anything could happen and I mean anything We don’t know the day, the hour or the circumstance So I’m surely gonna tell my story and do my dance While there’s still life in my body I shall have no fear Too much purpose in my being here I charge you today to stand my friend Follow your journey until your destination ends Because, we are stronger than the strongest tree And as I look into your eyes and you look back at me Know that even though we are different we are all family We are historically stronger than strong We’ve been linked together singing songs Standing under the beat of the sun for so long And our faith conquered all the wrong And we are better because of it We’ve conquered with strong character and great wit A mind so strong, that we learned it Even when the books were to no avail Thru patience and perseverance in spite of the ships that did sail And did in fact, abuse our bodies and our minds We pushed, we sat, we gathered hand in hands in lines To get us to where we are today I’m thankful for those of you that paved the way
