Covered By GraceCovered by grace, blessed with faith, anointed with favour
Yah is all I need to get through the day
Bless me, Yah, as I seek thee, make me your prologue
While I am building faith, hold on to me
When I am afraid, come down and stay near me
Bear my burdens and cover my scars
Wipe my tears and...

YOU MISS ME NOWsonger.co/song/epzclpaimyh9s5cai9h5ub15
[Verse 1]
I cried in the kitchen, you looked through me
I asked for your heart, you gave me your need
I stayed through the silence, through cold and pretend
But love isn’t love when it won’t let you in
[Pre-Chorus]
I held it together, threadbare and torn
You only looked up once the feeling was gone
[Chorus]
You miss me now, but you...

GLOBAL EXPLORATIONPack your bags
We are off to the airport
Our Flight #212 was called
Our plane is running down the runway
Into the friendly skies
European places
Just you, me and anyone else who wants to join
Enriched goodness and elegance
Feel the avion
History with its own aroma
Reflecting back enjoying the laid back
Relaxed setting
Sights and sounds
Loveliness like no other
Picture perfect
European cuisine
Wine sip
European flavor
Just...

Visiting a MansionWhen visiting a mansion
That’s become a restoration,
It’s cool to see a property
That’s way above your station.
The verdant lawns with giant trees,
The gardens all in bloom,
The stained glass in the windows
Of each river-facing room…
The made-to-order furniture,
The statues and the art,
The butler’s pantry where the fancy
Dinners get their start…
The books in leather bindings
Lined up neatly on...

Mary Anning 1799 - 1847
Born in Lyme Regis Dorset
a palaeontologist fossil collector
in the English Channel marine bed cliffs
and a coprolites (faeces) detector
who at only twelve years old
found the first two skeletons plesiosaur
and outside Germany
that of a pterosaur
yet as a woman who did not
always receive full credit
for her scientific contributions
and ineligible to join to their discredit
the Geological Society of London

Dweller of Our HeartBorn among stars, for a star, too, am I
A scion of the Earth and the star-filled sky
Helios, my name, called by ancient ones
Stardust clings as I am now among suns
My essence is of sea waves at high tide
or, as they gently kiss shore, then collide
The hills share portions of the mystery
as they often...

Retail TherapyI have never heard my mother express her love for my father.
Perhaps after having seven children, she lacked the energy to articulate those sentiments.
Many women convey their emotions through their unique forms of expression. I find myself questioning whether it was unwise to have loved someone deeply.
I composed a piece reflecting on...

The lady who was in the white houseCulture and Taste**
Her walk, her smile, and the way she carries herself embody something far greater than mere Black pride; they reflect the essence of a future First Lady. She knows the reality of being down on her luck and understands the struggle of facing financial hardships. Michelle Obama, a woman of substance,...

I'm Crying In The Car Listening to 'A Whole New World'Streaming like the rain outside
The windscreen wipers working like
My heart and chopping onions stuff
A testament to will the good of another
The kids are in the back and can't see what's going on
Soaring, tumbling, freewheeling in the driving seat
I think of my wife and when we first met
She was always running late
As I was...

The Architect's Design-Birthday PoemLike a work of art,
Formed from thought,
Detailed with steez,
Classic in taste, elegant in style
A design by The Architect.
In the eighth month,
Infinity ?? stands
Not just to mark the month,
But to align with the day:
8/8 - Eight, Zero, Eight.
The hands of the Maker
Reflect His image
On the mold He shaped with passion.
Not merely a symbol,
But a living entity...

DELIGHTS OF CARNIVAL NIGHTS
Carnival nights make the child-in-me
delight vibrantly in freedom bliss
bask unmindfully midst colors of varied hues
create magical time of beautiful wonders
transforming chaotic world into marvelous haven.
Awesome kaleidoscopic moments
grasp me around engagements, indeed radiant
midst life turning oblivious from grim reality
bringing sheer laughter of amazement-joy.
Viewing the sights at exuberant perspective
carnival attractions invite
me toward attentiveness-bliss
joining rides midst...
